Well, you can always increase the number of jobs in a country by lowering the country's wages.
By that logic, the taxpayer ends up footing the bill (via social insurance programs => taxes) that the employer should have paid.
- Houshalter 12y agoWages should be set by supply and demand like everything else. Taxpayers should pay for social programs, it spreads the cost out among the entire economy. Adding additional costs to a person, should a business decide to hire them, just discourages them from hiring and creates all the problems I mentioned above.
