[lbo-talk] Re: more workers, more hours, less pay, less skill

[frank scott]

"Not to be a boring old stick-in-the-mud, but these disappearing
workers have been far outweighed by freshly appearing ones:"

no question, but they make less money and are less skilled at whatever
it is they do, especially in super markets , department stores and
service stations...unless at one of the upscale types of those, you find
workers with little or no knowledge of the products/stock, or vehicle
care, and clerks don't even need to do math anymore, with
computer-calculator checkouts that tell them how much change to give,
etc.
