- Already__Taken 13y agoHourly people want more income not more hours, People don't want 12 hour shifts and they shouldn't have to do it to earn a living wage. A company needs to pay what that costs or their not worth being a company.
- CWuestefeld 13y agoA company needs to pay what that costs This is unclear to me. The company needs to pay what what costs? As far as I can see, they are indeed paying hourly workers for the hours that are worked, so this can't be what you're referring to. What is the cost that they're not paying?
- rtpg 13y agohe might be referring to the fact that a lot of large retail outfits or fast food outfits basically pay such low wages that employees have to apply for things like food stamps (meaning the gov't is effectively subsidizing these jobs for the companies).
- dragonwriter 13y agoPeople who will continue to want to work more are, ipso facto, not part of the voluntary reduction in labor force participation projected in the CBO study. In fact, that reduction would reduce the number of people competing for those hours, making it more likely that those who want them will get them.
