Less supply means higher wages. Just like in tech.
It also means people who might not get hired before, such as those with criminal records, would be more likely to get a job.
- WalterGR 4y agoIn theory. I meant: specifically for the roles in construction that would become available. These are not high-paying jobs and they lack the benefits that we’ve come to appreciate, such as care or compensation upon loss of life or limb. Since the cost to the employer would increase, what would be the effect on wages? Further, my understanding is that the employers of day-labor off-the-table construction work don’t much care about arrest records.
