I have never believed that making things is inherently better -- inherently more likely to produce widespread prosperity, inherently more noble, inherently more meaningful -- than is the supplying of services. And until I notice a widespread pattern of parents hoping that their children grow up to become factory workers rather than to become doctors, lawyers, and bank presidents, I'll continue to believe that, whether they know it or not, most Americans value jobs in the service sector pretty darn highly.
Do YOU believe that every child in the U.S. has the intelligence to be "doctors, lawyers, and bank presidents,"? Is there enought employment available in those fields to employ all the children of today?
I also notice he doesn't mention engineers or scientists. Is that because he's super-capitalist elite?
you didn’t bother to read the meat of the article once you started after the red flag. Since there are certainly different types of intelligence, remember plumbers, roofers and all sorts of different contractors are also part of the service economy.
I apologize, the top line of your reply was scrolled up too far when I composed my answer, you did read the whole thing. Since the question about wages isn’t comparing years what would it adjust inflation to?
