At therationale.com we explore the latent response of philosophy and religion to the global economic arena as the value of workers and labor is degraded.
Millions of Workers are in Limbo. Many are living in a Silent Depression
You see thousands on the streets of every major city in the USA. Many of the homeless do have jobs but can not afford shelter. Many show up as criminal statistics as our prison population keeps breaking records. Millions are living with their parents, grandparents and other relatives.
[I]None of this is really new. It's been going on for more than twenty years. Reportedly, young black men only average 23.8 hours per week. ( this is a 1988 statistic.) More than a third fo black high school dropouts held no job in any given period by the late 1980s even when a strong economy was reported. In the 1990s, reportedly one half of young black men in our inner cities are unemployed. No one seems to know what is happening now. We do know that things did not get better. Unemployment counts only those who are seeking jobs and their statistics are vaque about those who gave up looking.[/I
In 2009, The New York Times headlines read -
Surge in hiring of temps may be good sign
In the 1970s, people would have laughed at something like this.
The article says the hiring of temporary workers has surged .....-( it seems our city missed out on this.) The article said the nation's employers might just take the next step, bringing on permanent workers - this has not happened for more than twenty years but this fact was ignored in the article. Many companies hire temp workers only.
Imagine reading something like this years ago..... The rising employment of temp workers is not all bad. However uncertain their status, they do count in government statistics as wage-earning workers adding to the employment rolls...... ( in this statement, it proves that unemployment reports are not based on full time jobs as they once were and even a single mother making only a $100 a month is considered employed.)
The article quotes an employer as saying , " An actual employee with benefits costs more than a temp or a contract worker and as long as I can still get highly skilled temps, I'll go that route. It gives me more room to reverse course if the economy weskined again and sales do finally sink."
The article should have added another note. Only about 38 percent of all workers in the USA qualify for unemployment insurance. I wonder how many of the temp workers are in this category. Statistics do no cover situations related to temp, contract, casual or leased workers.
While this is going on, the major employers in our city and in many other major cities are governments - Federal, County, Local- or boards of education. So far, these workers have not been hit hard but soon they too will feel the affects of free trade in a global economic arena.
What goes around comes around back to their own front door as a silent depression continues in our land. With a vast underground economy taking over, millions are finding ways to survive. The underground economy may grown larger than the general economy. No one knows what will happen if this comes true. Our economy is now trying to navigate in dangerous unchartered waters.
