Along with Lack of Jobs, A Wage Problem

Reader Comments

It is amazing that even with wages staying low, that employers continue to not pay overtime wages or minimum wages for that matter. It's often those who are paid hourly, whether minimum wages or less than $500/week in wages, that are preyed upon. That's why it is important to ensure that even for those who earn hourly wages, that they stay vigilant to ensure that they receive the overtime pay and minimum wages they earn.

I have to respect your liberal eutopian ideals, that they will all say "let's take a risk, to help the country and hire, even though it would be risky in this economic environment"......people don't play around with their life-long work, building companies to just risk all of it, to be "patriotic" http://bit.ly/pyC4RR

Global labor competition and global wage equilibrium are just getting started. The nation-state is disappearing as the e-light look at migration as merely another type of free trade to lower wages and make more money for the e-lights.

Wages have gone down along with the corporate owned government's attack on the American standard of living. Jobs have been exported by the millions while millions of illegal aliens pour over our borders to feed on public resources while eroding our standard of living.

What else Alexis? Put more fire. We need a little of pessimism and agitation!
