I'm sure there are battalions of retrenched blue collar aunties
over 45 years old out there willing to take up these jobs ....
the question is, would they be hired ? ....
as for the bus driver one, i'm sure there are legions of unkers
out there willing to take up one of these jobs too .... but if they
have a wife and a bunch of kids to feed, they can't survive on
$1200 a month .... before CPF ....
it's really a question of how low you can go before you have to
stop and say, I can't live on this amount of money ......
by introducing legions of workers who deflat wages and send the
bulk of their earnings out of the country to their homes, I hardly
think we are "helping the economy"....
you're sure.. but are you really?
it's a matter of economics.. if they increase wages, there is a
knock-on effect.. why do you think everything is so damned
expensive in Japan?
