Am i being an asshole about this, yeah some, but it is our country, and the more unemployable/minimally employable labor you have, the lower the wages in that area are going to be. Supply and demand is a real thing even for employers, and with there being apparently 7.1 million jobs out there and 6.1 million available bodies to fill the slots it an EMPLOYEES MARKET and allows you to negotiate for a higher wage.
Ehm actually?
No it's not.
You see, even if the employers have more jobs available than there's employees to fill them employers still have a massive, massive advantage in the US job market. Because they don't have to give any given qualified potential employee that job, but that potential employee does need that job because otherwise he's going to run out of money. The demand for jobs is far more inflexible than the supply of jobs because of this, which gives employers much more power in the job market than a simple demand/supply analysis would imply.
And this becomes considerably more pronounced if the employer is a large company, or a, if not the, major economic factor for a town. It's also not helped when there's an information discrepancy where employees don't know how much their colleagues get paid but employers know how much they pay their employees. Something that becomes more pronounced when employees can't or don't communicate about wages across their entire employment sector but employers do talk among eachother about the costs of their employees and the wages they pay. And again it becomes even more pronounced when employees are not unified when negotiating opposite a large company with a lot of personnel, which is very common because it lets the company leverage more of its economic power against each employee, potential and otherwise. It's divide and conquer applied to contract negotiations.
