What's the harm?
- colinmhayes 5y agoYour chart shows that real wages are up 10% over the last 2 decades. Japan's are down. This doesn't even account for benefits, which have grown at an incredible rate due to health insurance costs. And that's not inflation, health care has gotten better, maybe unnecessarily so.
- kriskrunch 5y agoThe total benefits chart they provide is more accurate than just looking at cash compensation. Non-monetary compensation, like health insurance, still costs the business a lot of money. Would you be in favor of getting rid of mandatory health insurance and passing that money to employees instead?
