The Pros And Cons Of US Wage

1457 Words6 Pages

As mentioned above, the nations U.S. companies advanced into have already developed the production base of these “prompt, inexpensive and skillful”. Accordingly, in U.S. where considerable production has shifted to overseas, as a result, this production base seems to have been weak in the related industries. (note2) A related infrastructure is an industrial base such as roads, railroads, airports, ports, power plants, water supply, communications, finance, and living bases such as houses, schools, hospitals, parks, and commerce etc. (note3) Originally, ecosystem is of a community in which animals and plants adapt to the environment (water, soil, air, the sunshine, etc.) while living in competition, coexistence, resource sharing etc., however, …show more content…

Therefore, the trade deficit is not an evil but a support for the life of U.S. Given this reality, if President Trump forcefully executes his policy to increase employment and U.S. wage levels do not change, U.S. citizens other than the newly hired will purchase goods at higher prices than imported ones. This is nothing but the income transfer from the side not directly benefited from the new employment to the receiving side. In addition, the workers who live in, for example, the trading business will lose jobs to other domestic workers. If this happens, it will create a newly dissatisfied layer, which might shake the stability of the …show more content…

According to employment statistics in U.S., the situation seems to be close to full employment, therefore, if U.S. forcibly creates jobs, it will provoke wage-rise and the cost-push inflation over time. This employment situation close to full employment makes us wonder why dissatisfaction with employment became the background of Mr. Trump’s win. Presumably, employment shifts to service industries in which wages are considerably cheaper than in manufacturing industries, namely employment structural change might have happened. Consequently, the number of low-wage workers has significantly increased, and discontent has expanded along with it. The downfall of the middle class of U.S. occurred. On the other hand, depending on the region and industry, there is allegedly the shortage of workers, therefore, many mismatches in supply and demand of employment can exist. This suggests the need for U.S. to focus on re-educating workers and lifelong education of them. Even if U.S. attempts to protect only a general concept of employment, it is not realistic. To protect individual workers with concrete measures is an essential

  • Triangle Shirtwaist Report

    655 Words  | 3 Pages

    Just earlier this very year, there was a horrible fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory where 146 workers perished. Some died from the fire and others from jumping from the windows in order to escape it. Triangle Shirtwaist has brought the plight of these poor workers to the forefront as the public takes notice of the lack of safety measures in place at not just this factory, but many similar workplaces, and demands that something be done to prevent such a tragedy from occurring again. I believe one of the first steps to creating a safer workplace is having government regulations in place that prevent the mistreatment of workers and ensure that employees can escape in case of emergency. The regulations themselves should not be just broad, but address the many issues that workers face in order to give the workers the safest and healthiest working environment possible.

  • Pros And Cons Of Raising The Federal Minimum Wage

    279 Words  | 2 Pages

    Almost all articles, for or against the raise, agree that as long as the poverty line is not adjusted, then state and federal services that low-income workers were previously using would decrease. This means that the money that is no longer being distributed in food stamps or other services can be returned to Washington, D.C. and be redistributed. Economists say that raising the Federal minimum wage to $9 will restore the dollar to its real value (The President’s Plan). And indexing the minimum wage would ensure that working families keep up with inflation.

    The federal minimum wage has been increased twenty-two times since President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed the bill into law in 1938.

People have argued that raising the minimum wage will cause inflation, but it will create various economical benefits, income benefits, production benefits, and improve racial justice.

  • Causes Of Unemployment In Kenya

    The education system produces skills that are not valued by employers, while raising the expectations of those who acquire them. Consequently, the unemployed do not take up existing job vacancies, and employers are unwilling to hire available candidates (Njonjo, 2010). The mismatch is more marked for school leavers and graduates who have just finished school, partly providing an explanation for the high unemployment rate among youth and new entrants into the job market. The suggested remedy is to reform the education system and increase focus on technical education and vocational training, matching them to the needs of the job market (Coenjaerts et al. 2009).
