I am pretty sure that there has never been 0% unemployment (maybe during world war 2?) in our modern american industrial society and even at the lows of 4% I imagine that their would be underemployed bourgeoisie siding for workers rights etc. Not sure though, good suggestion. That is if private charity wasn't taking care of the matter. |
