This is why we have unemployment. The price for some jobs is set too high by labor laws, so fewer are hired. It also keeps people poor. This is a new problem, caused by labor laws. At one time you could get a job in almost any industry, with no experience whatsoever.
All people are worth at least something to a company.
Someone, to put it in simple terms, who can build 50 widgets an hour is worth more pay than someone who can only make 10 widgets an hour. Someone who's pretty new, but can build at least 10 widgets an hour may still be able to get a widget-making job, as long as he only asks for as much money as his 10 widgets per hour are worth. If he asked for more, the company would lose money by hiring him, so they would say no. But if he asked only for the right amount, he'd be able to at least get the job, and then would gain the experience necessary to be able to build 50 widgets an hour and ask for five times as much money. So they won't hire him.
