If you're literally scraping the barrel, you need to import more workers, or move jobs out of state, or automate some away etc.
- jollybean 5y agoThat's not unhealthy, it's just not as opportunistic as it could be ... and there's a big difference between those things. The neoliberal view would be 'more immigration because you could expand' ergo 'unhealthy/unoptimized state, increase people to make more GDP'. But that's only one view. Given a flat population, it generally actually wouldn't make a whole lot of sense for example to 'let people go' to create more slack for times of economic swings. Very low unemployment can only be characterized as 'unhealthy' from the view of 'maximizing GDP growth' for the most part.
