The laborer can sell his services to the highest bidder, it’s a free agent nation. Now the laborer must plan carefully and make sure there is a good market for his skills, and constantly be working to add to his skill set....you cannot make a good living just doing the same thing year after year, those days are long gone.

Some agents are freer than others. Many low-wage workers get stuck doing the worst jobs for the lowest pay because of their circumstances. Not all people stuck in low-wage jobs are shiftless losers like many on here would seem to want to classify them as. I would like to see workers empowered so that the negotiating table between them and employers is equalized somewhat because right now the employers hold all of the cards when it comes to negotiating wages. Low wage workers negotiate nothing. They have to take what the employer offers with no real opportunity to bargain.

I agree.
