Apple Goes On A Hiring Spree In China

19. I was thinking the same thing, but maybe for different reasons.

As the baby boomers retire and/or die off, there may once again be a demand for workers. When there is a greater demand than supply, that will be the best time to demand fundamental change. But as long as the supply far exceeds the demand, labor has no advantage to press and the only tool available is a general strike.

On the other hand, maybe the nature of the employer-employee relationshipwill change forever. We're moving towards a contractor/temp worker economy, where the workforce is entirely flexible. But if we do go this route, we'll also have to fundamentally change the vehicle for delivering health care from the workplace to the general collective (taxes).
