lol, why does anybody need to say so? This is free market 101.
Also I really believe that's how the future looks like, thanks to AI and automation: fewer and fewer jobs with higher and higher requirements but also higher and higher pay.
- IshKebab 8y agoBecause the news never calls this out. Here's an article in The Guardian from just yesterday: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/nov/13/workers-eastern-europe-uk-eu-employment-pay-growth https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/nov/13/workers-eas... > Britain’s employers have warned that severe skills shortages are holding back the economy after the latest official figures showed the biggest fall in the number of workers from eastern Europe since modern records began. > > The British Chambers of Commerce and the Federation of Small Businesses urged the government to deliver a post-Brexit migration system to meet their needs amid signs that the fall in unemployment in recent years was putting upward pressure on wages. Notice how an upward pressure on wages is bad (because this is from business groups). Even the Guardian doesn't point out how stupid this logic is.
