Back To Work - With An Interesting Commentary On the Why of the Jobless Recovery
Here's a news flash: Employers don't really want to pay for your kid's orthodontia. They don't like the hassle of setting up and funding your retirement plan, and they'd just as soon not live with the worry that you'll leave crumbs in the computer, spill company secrets to a competitor, or sue over some infraction of the labor laws.The article provides great food for thought, including the statement, "there ought to be ways we can make employment a less entangling commitment, without compromising workers' welfare." Unlikely, but certainly thought provoking, especially for those of us who in large part owe our living to the entanglement.
