There are too many workers and we have anti- worker economic policies, the world is gonna beat us up. We gotta do something! Or do we?
How do we solve our jobs problem without understanding the global jobs issue and how does this square with Bush tell us the economy is booming?-trb
“Global oversupply of workers, and technological change that puts these workers in competition with each other. To put the size of the global labor oversupply in perspective,
if all U.S. jobs were moved to China, there would still be surplus labor in China.
The world economy must work off the current oversupply of labor.
The answer to oversupply, in the broadest terms, is to increase demand for labor at the global level.
Achieving meaningful results will require a serious reorientation of U.S. trade policy as well as changes in the U.S. role in international macroeconomic policy.
Here , in the article cited , are several policies that should be changed:
Any serious attempt to address the global oversupply of labor should begin by reducing agricultural subsidies to high-income farmers in the United States and other attacks on political sacred cows...”

Or you can just look at the city of Flint which is a great case study in how not to be competitive. Not every industry is moving oversees. Not every city has a horrible education system and bad business policies. As an example look at the booming real estate market in downtown Flint. It is technically booming but half of it is boarded up but nothing is for sale.
How to prevent jobs from moving to Flint
1. Poor education system (check)
2. Bad economic policies. (check)
3. Focus on dying industries (check)
4. Uncompetive labor (check)
5. Help prevent entrepreneurship (check) |
