[QUOTE="Lurker66, post: 2653216, member: 24459"] You really are full of ****. Is that what you were taught? Wages are repressed because we are going from a producing/manufactoring economy to a service economy. Take a recession proof non service, non manufactory g profession such as nursing....there is and has been a shortage of RNs for decades, in fact we import several thousands RNs from overseas yearly.....yet RNs wages haven't increased or grown much at all in past 10 years. In fact many of this year's new RNs are getting paid about the same as a RN with 20 years experience. It's the same with electricians and plumbers.....wages are being suppressed. The only glut of workers are mainly the unskilled labor or newly certified workers. People who make up the bulk of the workforce. Under Clinton these people worked and earned a real wage. We haven't seen this kind of wage suppression since Carter/Reagan/Bush.....it got better under Clinton and worse Bush/Obama. Making citizens out of a bunch of illegals ain't going to effect anyone or wages. Only raising the minimum wage will do that. [/QUOTE]
