[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The US allows temporary farm workers to pick crops and work on farms.  There is no shortage of willing workers who will come to do those jobs.  What you won't find are cheap gardeners and cheap housecleaners.  You will have to pay proper wages for construction.

In other words, inflation. [/quote]

inflation to a progressive

wage growth to a normal human being. [/quote]

I live in an area where minimum wages are $17/hr+.  Yes wage growth is great.  It also means a 16 oz latte is $7.58 (not $3.5 like it is in places where min wage is the federal limit). 
[b]Extrapolate that to the grocery store next and restaurants.  [/b]
Very few employers just pay more per hour and take it fully out of their profits.

So your problem is with Capitalism? Or with companies being forced to pay something closer to a living wage?

How is this going to work when Trump deports so many workers and the labor market tightens and drives up wage prices more?[/quote]

I have no issues with capitalism.  I happily support it!

Was explaining to the previous poster that along with wage growth comes higher prices.  So unless you are actually being paid more yourself at a rate to keep up with prices/inflation, you will think everything is more expensive.

And yes, when trump deports so many workers, workers who are willing to do jobs for cheap labor, jobs that most Americans don't want to do (hard, manual labor jobs), those same people who voted for this won't understand why the cost to replace their roof just doubled from the quote they got last year.....
