Worker Shortages / Desperate Immigrants

[Amishman]

2. We need the labor market to stay tight to force employers to raise wages

I'd love to see the American people catch up on the wage growth they've been denied over the past 20+ years.

Wages are still near an all time low as their share of national GDP, while corporate profits are near an all time high.

Let businesses (especially large ones) suffer for a while to the people can benefit.

This will lead to businesses implementing more automation, but that is a good thing IMO. It eliminates jobs that honestly very few people really want to do. Who enjoys being a warehouse worker or a package delivery driver? Who likes taking orders at fast food joints? Now is the time to transition them to automation while labor overall is tight and the displaced workers can easily find something better (and judging by the shortages, many of them already did!)
