However, an employer can't run his business based on people who do what they have to do until whatever...as an owner, you get up every morning wondering if you have employees or not.
Agreed.
However there willalways be those who are frictionally unemployed in deed of work. This is not a good labor pool from which to draw, but it is available.
MAny small business operate thus. In fact, many rather large franchises (McDonalds, BK, Wendy's, Taco Bell......etc.) operate thusly as well.
