If this needs a sarcasm tag, I apologize. Otherwise, consider,
An employer has stuff to make and sell. This generates income. Soon, the business person has demand for the product, and the demand hopefully continues to increase.
There comes a time of balance when the business man can keep up with the demand, but if the demand increases any more, he will not be able to satisfy the demand.
When the demand is such that it would in itself support another employee, with profit for the employer after all expenses then the employer is justified in hiring another employee.
That is what causes the hiring of employees.
Cutting some employee's wages sufficiently in order to afford hiring another employee is a wonderful charitable gesture, but has absolutely no basis or foundation in reality. it simply feels good to consider, especially when it is someone else's business, or some other employee's wages being reduced.
productivity gets paid. If employees themselves feel they should contribute some of their earnings towards another employees wages, for hiring purposes, that is their right. However, then may just as well simply give the unemployed person a financial hand. It is their right, but it is not the responsibility of, nor is it a sound decision, nor does it make any sense, to ask employers to cut the employee salaries to justify and afford to hire additional employees.
What would the newly hired do, walk around sweeping the premises?
The creation of jobs, (and therefore the improvement of the economy)is based on consumer confidence in the future, and therefore going out and ---->consuming<actually purchasing goods and services. When the demand increases beyond the capacity to deliver, THEN additional jobs are created.
I didn’t take your statement as “sarcasm”, but thanks for the consideration. I am in business for myself but we have no employees. We are about as small as you can get. My focus is basically that people can’t spend and buy if they don’t have jobs. The key is give them jobs and they will spend. As I said, it wouldn’t be easy but putting people back to work will automatically create a need for more products.
I was not trying to say that employers should cut salaries without the employees buying into the idea.....although I didn’t mention that, sorry. I do believe that the market needs to get innovative, big time. If not this idea, some other idea.....totally seperate from the government. If industry can come together they can change things in a way that government can’t.
