So many "experts" that are not capable of creating jobs, don't care to hear from what people that CAN and DO hire people have to say!
Read here for a small business owner's reasons for NOT hiring!
He doesn't know what his employee costs will be!
"The man in the aisle seat is trying to tell me why he refuses to hire anybody. His business is successful, he says, as the 737 cruises smoothly eastward. Demand for his product is up. But he still wont hire.
Because I dont know how much it will cost, he explains. How can I hire new workers today, when I dont know how much they will cost me tomorrow?
Hes referring not to wages, but to regulation: He has no way of telling what new rules will go into effect when. His business, although it covers several states, operates on low margins. He cant afford to take the chance of losing what little profit there is to the next round of regulatory changes. And so hes hiring nobody until he has some certainty about cost. "
I dont understand why Washington does this to us," he resumes. By "us," he means people who run businesses of less- than-Fortune-500 size.
Invisible, he says. I know there are things the government has to do.
But they need to find a way to do them without people like me having to bump into a new regulation every time we turn a corner.
He reflects for a moment, then finds the analogy he seeks.
Government should act like my assistant, not my boss.
