With falling unemployment, employees will be able to demand higher wages and many people will be hired that aren't really qualified. That may be good for employees now but over the long haul it isn't. Paying more for less qualified employees means lower productivity, higher prices and lower sales abroad, none of which is good for the economy.Currently there are 6.8 million job openings. That figure is forecast to rise to 34 million by 2024 unless something changes.These policies are good for Americans and America. More freedom and less government is always good for the people. If the weak get weeded out along the way, that is the nature of life.

Your characterization of people that can't find decent jobs as "weak" is incorrect and just an excuse for you to dismiss the valid interests of people you don't like.
The rest of US, will be taking steps to improve the job market, so that those people can find better jobs, and that wages will rise for the rest of US also.
You need to start explaining what is so great about the status quo, that you don't care about if it is good for other people or not.
Are you just that personally selfish? Or are you so full of hate that you support these policies BECAUSE they hurt working class whites?
You need to tell me what sucks so much about 4% unemployment, more jobs than people to fill them and 108 straight months of economic expansion.
I already described the economic pain hidden by those numbers. Your response was that those people should just die off.
How are you going to improve upon a job market that already has more jobs than people to fill them?
More good jobs and rising wages, across the board.
Anyone that cannot find a “descent” job is either not looking or needs some new skills.
I'm not sure what bubble you are living in. But you need to get out more.
And once again you call me full of hate when it is you that only cares about white people.
No, I was referencing the people you said, repeatedly now, that you want to die off.
Me replying to what YOU said about white people, you race baiting moron.
If you want a job it is there, but it may not be in the little town you live in and it may require you to take on more responsibilities than you won't and work longer hours and go school at night.
Jobs have changed so much in the last 30 or 40 years. Most new employers today look at applicants asking what can you do for me. They don't hire people just to fill a desk chair and move papers across a desk or fill a slot on an assembly line. As an employee, you have to be flexible, do different jobs, take on different products, improve your education. You are more likely today to be hired if you assure the boss you can do the job. However, you are more likely to be fired if you can't.
I believe a lot of these changes are due to the flattening of the management structure. Where once an employee use to report to a group leader, who reported to a section head, who reported to the department head, who reported to a division head. Today, the employee is likely to report directly to department head who reports to the CEO. So your boss has a wider view of the business and has a better understanding of how his people directly effect the end product and profits. This carries right down to the employee so he or she is more likely see himself as a key component in the organization.
The old jobs of 40 or 50 years ago are gone and not going to return and no amount government interference in the market place is going to change that.
The bottom line is if you can't pull your weight, there's not likely to be a union or an employee rule book that will save your job. Some people just can't make it in this new environment. That's why we have safety nets.
I see a lot in there about what workers have to do, and shit about what employers have to do.
I've been in situations where the power has been reversed, and the employER had to put his mind towards what he could offer me.
That's what I want to see for more of my fellow Americans. Cause let me tell you, if was fucking great.
Your assumption that the changes you have seen are inevitable and immutable, is just you being too close to the problem.
