The massive IR reforms have resulted in high unemployment rates and massive amounts of jobs in the unskilled and skilled sectors being sent offshore to cheaper labour market in the developing nations.
Flexible IR laws during an economic downturn resulted in huge job losses. The same sort of economics was used prior to the Great depression but it has been given a new name. Neo-liberalism sounds like a feel good name but it hides a dark cynical force.
Counter the US Corporatism(neo-liberalism) by joining a trade union. There is a catch to unions you must have a job to join one and the union fees is insurance for job protection and representation. Legal fees for an individual cost a lot more than the costs of joining a union.
During the 1960s both the US and Canada had around 30% of their workforce in trade union movements. 40 years later the US has only 12% of its workforce in a trade union. The inequality and growth between the rich and the poor has grown and the middle class in the US is disappearing.
Join a union, the membership is well worth it. Unions protect your job, rights and entitlements and have representation. Union members usually get paid higher wages than non-union workers who can be fired and sacked at the drop of a hate. There is a catch you need a job to join a union, but these occurring fees are worth it. Unions = work insurance, job protection and income protection.
The millionaires and billionaires distort the income distributions significantly. GDP income average takes into account all the billionaires incomes which make the government figures look so much better than reality.
