I believe this is factually incorrect. The single biggest factor in the scarcity of jobs is the increased productivity and elimination of entire classes of jobs that has resulted from automation.
I don't know the answer to this problem, but I'm not the type to take advice on any matter from a guy who collaborates with a jackass like Chuck Schumer to get his point across.
P.S. Chuck Schumer has been one of the leading advocates in Washington for unfettered immigration and open borders. Why doesn't the author mention the impact of this idiotic policy on unemployment and American wages?
It is a combination of automation, off shoring and unfettered immigration.
Of the three, automation is the most inevitable, but the off-shoring and immigration are controllable. we just chose not to do so.
As real jobs have disappeared, the Government Entitlement machine has stepped in to prop up the Economy. But there are limits to this. The entitlement clients cannot do more than simply subsist. But they DO keep consumer product and retail companies (e.g., Walmart) afloat. Many of the people getting rich are in finance or purveyors of social services.
It is really a sad situation. The people who have enabled this are nothing short of traitors, but they have been richly rewarded.
So have 90% of so called Republicans in stride with The Chamber of Commerce. It is now a uniparty
Like I said, get past the reference to ChuckYou and see if you can fault the rest of his facts.
“I believe this is factually incorrect. The single biggest factor in the scarcity of jobs is the increased productivity and elimination of entire classes of jobs that has resulted from automation.”
Why automate or transfer jobs offshore? Unions and occupukes, along with forced healthcare and environmental regulations, not to mention taxes, have caused most industries to become more productive or move to cheaper places offshore. In other words, LIBERAL POLICIES!
Roberts is a first class nut. He went wacky more than a decade ago.
I've mentioned it before, but the emergence of Google (and the Internet in general) rendered a whole lot of office know-it-alls redundant. And they are just the kind to complain the loudest without understanding what actually happened to them.
