Therefore, a monkey punching yes/no verdict on the underling' proposals, statistically speaking, should be just as effective decision maker, if not more.
Under massive pressure from the unions and a sympathetic government, auto companies paid close to $50 an hour in today's money, including rich pension benefits, to "Turn-a-Bolt Bob." IT AIN'T COMING BACK and Bob was never worth $50 an hour. It was monopoly pricing.
Of course they don't, hasn't that always been the case? Both statements are true:
- Many of the new jobs in the service sector don't pay nearly as well as manufacturing
- Many of the new jobs in the service sector pay better than manufacturing
Every job in the service sector isn't being a bartender or cashier, the biggest gains for jobs in the service over the past ten years have been:
The problem here as far as manufacturing processes is the epa restrictions.
We moved our pump manufacturing facility to china from long island .
We were not only not competitive anymore on bids compared to our competitors and risked failure as a company but epa regulations were becoming costlier and costlier.
So we make the castings overseas and do all design ,testing and assembling right in long island and ohio employing 130 people here
The Chinese people aren't so keen to breathe all the crap in their air, either, so be prepared for air restrictions there in the future.
Many of the jobs in Healthcare (like orderlies) and Leisure & Hospitality don't pay well at all.
Low-paying/part-time service jobs are the OVERWHELMING majority of the new jobs that have been created recently.
Orderlies are unskilled. In contrast, there are tons of skilled health care positions including RNs, LVNs, Respiratory Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, PAs, NPs, Charge nurses, psychiatric nurses, etc. Then, of course, there are IT positions in health care, management positions, administration, patient relations, care coordinators, hospital administrators, human resource managers, purchasing managers, training managers, etc etc.
The idea that all Leisure & Hospitality Industry jobs do not pay well is also an urban myth. For example, parking valets at, for example, Bellagio and Wynn and Venetian & Cosmopolitan regularly pull down north of $80,000 per year -- in cash tips (can you spell "not likely reported to the IRS"?) Chefs in the Las Vegas Strip restaurant can make in the $150,000 to $180,000 range. Waiters in those restaurants regularly pull down north of $125,000.
The Chinese people aren't so keen to breathe all the crap in their air, either, so be prepared for air restrictions there in the future.
that is one of the reasons that manufacturing shifts around the world . if it gets to expensive in one area other areas are ready to take that business
Many of the jobs in Healthcare (like orderlies) and Leisure & Hospitality don't pay well at all.
And many of the jobs in healthcare, education, and business services pay quite well.

So prove it to me. What percentage of new jobs recently are low paying/part time service jobs? Surely you know since you can say it is OVERWHELMING percentage.
Average earnings by sector here:
Wages for the service providing sector as a whole averages about $45k annually, while education and health services (the latest gains in jobs) average 42k.
