*** In the meantime, we are all waiting for your definition of “worker.” Based on your comments so far, it is “someone who makes something.” ***

If you read the entire thread, I did a mea culpa of sorts. If it’s financial brokers, I’m not well versed. Stock brokers are who I was impuning.

A worker is anyone who provides something of value. So, that includes the service economy.

Now go untwist those knickers. :)

I went back and reread and now see your post. But if Stock Brokers don’t add value why are they paid? They must be providing a service that demands a price, else they would not exist.

They do the same thing as Finance Brokers — putting together a seller and a buyer of a product or commodity (in this case, stocks and the like).

Knickers never even came close to “guy’s-old-favorite-underwear-that-still-has-one-string-of-elastic-so-you-better-NOT-throw-them-away-dangit!” level, much less twisted... :)
