There are more ways to measure the health of the American worker than the BLS' unemployment rate. What about other statistics? Things like like...
- Wage growth over time
- Health outcomes
- Savings rate
- Credit card debt rate
- Feelings about the future (are we on the right track/wrong track?)
- harryh 7y agoOPs comment asserted that developed world workers were being hurt specifically because of the combination of free trade and a minimum wage caused unemployment. My comment was refuting that specific argument. The stats you mention are interesting but not relevant to OPs assertion that a wage floor in developed nations was problematic in a free trade world.
