In case you haven't noticed, all these countries where employers pay more than a dollar for a dollar's worth of work are filled with people complaining that there aren't enough jobs.
Before the First World War, it was considered normal for an employer to pay his workers no more than the raw cost of those workers' labor. I find it interesting (and it's no coincidence) that you never saw people clamoring for "jobs" at presidential campaign appearances before that time, either.
