> It's about workers in general, and with an empahsis on workers in low-wage and high-hour industries like fast food and discount retail the same economics applies, it's sort of the whole point of economics, it's generalizable, it's not a collection of special circumstances, nor is it escapable. hiring takes place because wages for the work are worth it, and hiring will decline if not. It's not a value judgement or a moral judgment, it's the same way you spend your own money, only if it's worth it. the audience here is tech workers so I used that to get the emotional resonance for the plight of the salaried worker.
