We all know that wages have been too low for the average worker, and we had workers who were living in their cars because they could not find a place to live that they could afford. We need to get the wages up so that the workers can afford homes, etc.
One way to help is to publicize the benefits of paying your workers a fair wage.
You can have Harvard students do research, and they can find that workers who are paid fair are happier, they are healthier, they are better with customers and help the business more, they are more loyal to the company, etc, etc, etc, and then you share the findings of the research with the world. The world is always interested in the findings of research done by Harvard students.
So, you lead the horses to water and you hope they drink.
You tell the world all of the benefits of paying workers a fair wage, and you hope the world listens and starts paying people fair so that they can afford homes, etc.
We also need to reward training and education and experience with higher pay.
And we can have prevailing wage lists, and union wage scales, etc.
As we rebuild our economy, we need to get the workers into nice housing, etc.
If you are honest, and if you work hard, you need to be paid fair and you need to be able to afford a home.
Salute,
Tony V.
