Countries with better rights for employees exist in this universe, on this planet.
- supernova87a 6y agoYou will generally not find the same environment in terms of job creation and growth though. Part of what the US's low job security enables are the forces of creative destruction that have made new businesses and ideas possible here. You might have more job security in other countries, but your job might be theoretical. You can't have it all.

There are many historic and contemporary causes for the US's economic success. Arguably, the US was even more innovative in the 50s and 60s when job security was much better and unions were more powerful.

- Lukas_Skywalker 6y ago10 or 15 years ago, many of my peers were dreaming of migrating to the US some day to work in a hot new startup. These days? Pretty much everyone changed their mind, because everyone realized that being protected as an employee, having financial safety in case of an emergency and the health care system in Europe are more desirable than being part of the next new business or idea, however "creative" they might be labelled. Especially if it's just the next Uber for X treating employees as independent contractors.
