seeing something else going on. There are some people working more than one job because they aren't paid enough for some jobs. Some companies by these CEOs are over working people to get more profits for share holders. The people that hire are in management. If you can get people to do more for less pay, it is more profitable. I think these companies are more interested in their profits than creating more jobs. I think it is false to think demand for services have declined.

The people at the top have formed political organizations and groups the same as Unions, where they dominate access to opportunities for others. They decide who gets hired or move upwards in these organizations as long as they monopolize goods and services of skilled workers. That is where controlling Government comes in for these people. They influence the Laws in this country. They have their own Lobbyists to do this. As long as Government is controled or out of the way, they control the jobs because Government is one of the biggest creators if jobs in the economy and seen as a competitor.

With Government out of the way, then you have no control over the inflation of prices by the private sector. As long as a few individuals can monopolize goods and services, they can control the prices of goods and services. They can control the prices of Education, Healthcare or any other neccessity a person needs to survive. The problem with services is the rising costs of them and less people being able to afford them. Our problem is Vulture Capitalism which sees and controls by Government as Communist or Socialist. Vulture Capitalists donot care about jobs or people but profits. That wealth gives them control over others. Murdoch and the Koch brothers are a very good example of Vulture Capitalists.
