When Obama eliminated the requirement to look for work in order to get the welfare payments, the ‘workers’ stopped looking. It is not cut rate wages that has stopped the availability of workers......it’s just that they can get too near welfare wages in the workplace to bother to actually work for nearly the same money.
“It is not cut rate wages that has stopped the availability of workers......it’s just that they can get too near welfare wages in the workplace to bother to actually work for nearly the same money.”
IMHO, both arguments are valid, and are not mutually exclusive.
