The downward pressure on wages and salaries is a direct result of the increased supply of labor from illegal aliens and immigrant work visas. Control the borders and cut the work visas, and the wages and salaries will increase according to the laws of supply and demand.

Raise wages while you legalize 5 million lawbreakers enabling them to compete legally with American workers. The reason why wages are decreasing or stagnating is that we have a huge surplus of workers. The labor participation rate is the lowest since 1977.

Business leaders to Obama: “Get amnesty done and write a few preferences into the law for us to kill off our smaller competitors and we’ll see what we can do for you on the wage thing.” /unfortunate reality

When wages are good, and consumers feel like theyve got money in their pockets, that ends up being good for business not bad for business, Obama the Lesser said.
And that is, sadly, about the extent of his understanding of economics. Give more money away and they will spend it. Where the money comes from is not my problem.

This is true. It's also good for business to lower your costs as much as possible, so you can afford growth, or lower prices to make demand for growth. So what you end up with is a balancing act between the two. You want the best wages possible while still lowering costs as much as possible. Econ 101 teaches something called supply and demand. Similar concept here. Not too difficult.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Oh, goodie. Wage and price controls.
That always works so well.
If you like your hyperinflation, you can keep your hyperinflation.
Military pensions and old-age social security payments will be limited to less than 1% cost-of-living increases.
