What Happened to the American Work Ethic? - Room for Debate
Millions of people are looking for jobs, but aren’t jumping to be seasonal farm laborers. Why is that?The American work ethic seems to have caught your attention.It is here seven times.Slavery has very little appeal. Sub-minimum wages have little appeal.Short term camp conditions are barely survivable.Illegals are more profitable. Withheld taxes for illegals are retained by the contractor.Illegals do not complain to the authorities.-

Hand vs. Machine
Philip Martin, labor economist
Though it is low skill it is not no skill.
$80 a day does not do it.
To follow the crops one must be at liberty to travel.
Local residents are not.
$2,700 a year will not pay the rent and food. $7.40/day

Do the Math and Collect Unemployment - Room for Debate
For those whose economic desperation has turned them into migrant workers, a $2,800 windfall may be appealing, for others it isn't.He makes good sense. -

Millions of people are looking for jobs, but aren’t jumping to be seasonal farm laborers. Why is that?For the good and sufficient reason that it will not feed and house them.

The Dark Side of Young Adult Fiction - Room for Debate
What's behind the dystopian trend in novels for teenagers, and why is there so much demand for it?The kids do not buy books prepublication. Adults do that.Books that do not find an audience do not stay in print.Rather than agonize about what is on the shelves let us look at what stays in print. -
Britain Taxed the Rich. Then What? - Room for Debate
Britain raised its top income tax rate to 50 percent. How will we know if it worked?Wait for the numbers to come in. The highly paid always scream loudly.Andrew Mellon cut taxes way down in the twenties of the last century.Our economy went to hell. FDR raised the the rate on high earners with good effect. I will take the theorists word on this. -
