Would you feel better with “demand in other sectors has been deemed more valuable and your business model may be unfeasible in the current labor climate?”
Means the same thing.
- s1artibartfast 5y agoThat would be true if workers are getting better employment in other jobs. If people find unemployment more attractive than working, that is a different problem. The percent of the population working a job has dropped 6‰ since a peak in 2000. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CIVPART https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CIVPART
- 8note 5y agoThat still sounds like a "your business model is bad" problem. If you can't pay people a wage to match how bad the job you want them to do is, your business shouldn't exist
- s1artibartfast 5y agoThat is a different point than the idea that everyone is moving on to higher paid jobs. I fully agree that some jobs aren't worth doing at a given price. But this is all relative to someone's next best option. You have take both sides of the decision into account and there are more factors at play. Of course some business models are unsustainable. That said, I think it is dishonest to claim people are finding better pay elsewhere. If people think they can have a better life by not working at all, I think it is relevant to discuss why that is the case and if that is problem that needs to be discussed.
- s1artibartfast 5y agoThen the question becomes "why are businesses models going bad" and "do we want a business environment with fewer jobs".
- BurningFrog 5y agoAbsolutely! But I don't think that's what the "your business should not exist if you can't pay!" people actually mean.
