our pay levels so high and unemployment low ? , page-29

Regulations would be one reason we do not do a lot of value adding.

find8 you should try working for someone for a living, a lot of us work darn hard! for a meager income.

In my industry we compete directly with China, they can do the job for less than we can buy the raw materials, is that the workers fault?

The reason we are still in business is that our product is backed up, once stuff is shipped from China that's it its your problem no time to ship it back for fixups.

If the employers try to screw us workers any more, I for one will be going John Galt, get your slaves elsewhere I wont be one of them.

DDzx makes some good points!

Silver spooners should try working for someone else for a living.
