It is by switching jobs that people learn new skills and find a better match for the skills they already have, thus earning higher wages.

LOL!

What do you find funny about that statement?

I've switched jobs at least eight time in my career, and every single job switch involved higher wages, including two switches that were prompted by layoffs.

Why do you find that statement laughable? Based upon my personal experience it is quite factual.

Lost my job in '94. No prospects. Moved my family 2000 miles to take a 20% cut in pay. I'm now making nealy 60% more than I was before I lost my job. (Also my new employer moved me back to my old home town so nothings changed except I'm making a pot load more money now.) BTW, I'm in my late fifties so any one can do it.
