Working Conditions and Benefits

Employers in at will states can fire you for no reason. There are some reasons for firing you that are illegal (such as age discrimination). So employers maintain documentation to avoid being sued. Legally, all that is needed to avoid losing a suit for a discriminatory firing is a non-discriminatory reason even if that reason is a pretext. That is the purpose of the documentation.

Can you make a case for any of this. "I think" followed by a bunch maybes does not even reach the level of a proposition, let alone an argument. Remember, you are shooting down an idea that you agree "seems to work on paper"Low employment suggests that many people have already found jobs although it is not a perfect indicator of that. So tell me why we want poor people working and yet still living like refugees. What is the incentive to do so?

You haven't actually made the case that inflation is the problem. The problem is not inflation which actually assists people because it allows paying debts with cheaper money, but the failure to index the minimum wage to inflation during a time when there is upward pressure on every other factor of production. There is no excuse for using 1980 economics to set wages in the 2016 and that applies both to the minimum wage and every other wage.A review of the distribution of economics over the past 50 years has shown that in real dollars the production of wealth has increased, but that the middle and lower classes haven't shared in that growth. There is simply no way that dynamic can be attribute to inflation.

Let's ignore the issue that for poor people, retirement savings is not that huge an issue. Instead I'll point out that if your bills go up and your wages don't, you are not going to be able to accumulate any savings to inflate. So even the small amounts of inflation wipe out a person on an income that is fixed in real dollars.Is the problem here inflation or the fact that with the teeny-tiny interest rates we currently have, it is difficult to save in a way that keeps pace with the current rather puny interest rate? That is indeed a problem. So why are wages so low when productivity is at an all time high? When there is more wealth being created than ever before?Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.
