Poast new message in this thread
Date: July 19th, 2018 6:11 AM Author: saffron jet-lagged native Lol jk! During our booming economy the American worker actually saw his wages DECREASE over the past year:
"From June 2017 to June 2018, real average hourly earnings decreased 0.2 percent, seasonally adjusted."

Date: July 19th, 2018 6:28 AM Author: saffron jet-lagged native It probably doesn't, but immigration is not what is causing the vanishing middle class. There's some evidence that it can cause modest wage growth (immigration works on both demand and supply side people often forget) but it's largely a wash.
The point is that we should be dedicating political capital to ideas that may actually help solve the problem instead of this giant distraction. |

it is in no way a "distraction" |

Date: July 19th, 2018 6:35 AM Author: saffron jet-lagged native True there's the typical racist reasons, which you're right definitely is what really drives anti immigration, but we've seen that Trump and his alt right followers love to conflate it with the general economic plight of American workers (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4030016&forum_id=2#36457749) |

Date: July 19th, 2018 6:49 AM Author: saffron jet-lagged native "Culture" is just shorthand for "I don't like brown people." "Safety" is shorthand for "brown people make me nervous." The idea that there's some distinct American culture not inclusive of latin stuff is absurd. And the idea that immigrants have some sort of special higher propensity for crime is equally absurd.

Obviously depends on where they’re from, how skilled they are and what population you’re comparing them to |

|
Date: July 19th, 2018 11:39 AM Author: Tan Quadroon Is it maybe because more people are getting jobs instead of being unemployed, thus dragging down the average by adding more below-average workers (who may be replacing some undocumented workers who were earning even less, but not being counted so not dragging down the average?)
Or are employers actually decreasing wages? That seems kind of unlikely due to increased competition for labor, but I've only spent about two minutes looking at numbers. |
|
Date: July 19th, 2018 12:07 PM Author: saffron jet-lagged native This is of nonsupervisory positions. Supervisory positions have had 0.2 percent increase. But basically everyone is stagnant. The entire corporate tax cut went to shareholders not labor. Terrible terrible policy (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4030016&forum_id=2#36458898) |
|
Date: July 19th, 2018 12:12 PM Author: Tan Quadroon It being nonsupervisory positions would seem to support my poast, no?
If poors didn't have jobs before and are now reentering the labor force in low paying jobs (some of which may have previously been held by undocumented people etc), they'd bring down the average. People in supervisory positions making more money also supports the idea that employees have more leverage. |
|
Date: July 19th, 2018 12:17 PM Author: saffron jet-lagged native Why would they bring the avg down? In a good economy usually new employees make more than their counterparts because wages are sticky for existing employees.
But anyway supervisory of 0.2 is not a win. That's stagnant wages. There's really no room here to claim wages are actually getting a boom but the stats don't reflect it. |
|
Date: July 19th, 2018 12:38 PM Author: Tan Quadroon I don't know about what you allege usually happens in a "good" economy to unskilled entry level workers, but I'm suggesting that the low tier workers finally getting jobs after more competent people have been working and improving their track record throughout the recession might indeed bring down the average, especially if some of the people formerly in those jobs are promoted to supervisory positions (many of which would also be low paying for supervisory positions as they're entry level supervisory positions.)
It looks to me like we're growing the pie, largely by hiring for more low wage jobs. That sounds better and less expensive and more productive than these people not having jobs. |

libs wanting completely open boarders along with govt funded healthcare, massive increases in education spending, increased welfare, free college, ubi, and all the other handouts is what's really insane. or they simply want to destroy america and replace it with a 3rd world welfare state paid for by middle class cucks with no other options. |
