people do a job so that they don't starve to death So that's why the long-term unemployment rate never rises above zero. Thanks, I'd been wondering why all those predictions of recessions causing high unemployment never panned out. . Also, there's also the fact that the power imbalance between employer and employee these days is a bit less than the imbalance between slave and owner was. Besides the existence of non-starving unemployed people, I would like to note the lack of children working 18-hour days.
