Working longer hours and more people working, both increase the supply of labor.Increases in the supply of labor leads to increased division of labor and increased capital intensiveness. Both of these lead to increased productivity of labor, which leads to increased efficiency, which leads to increased total productive ability, which leads to increased production, which leads to increase supply, which leads to lower prices, which leads to increased real wage rates and higher standard of living for the average wage earner and the middle class.
Wages will never rise as long as the labor market is continually flooded with fraudulently documented foreigners.
That’s why The Cheap Labor Express is so desperate to keep the borders open and the laws unenforced.
