   @muehlfield I'm not sure I fully agree. I'd rather see 100 people in poverty than those same 100 people with no income at all, which is far worse.

     @muehlfield less money is worse than more for those in poverty. I think it would be hard to disagree on this definition of worse.

     I would word it more like "Employers often benefit from a huge supply of unskilled laborers with low market value". I'm not saying that is entirely the workers fault, it is the systems. But I wouldn't paint the company as the bad actor here, the issue is a system which doesnt provide better means for unskilled workers to become skilled workers.

     Generally a company isnt really exploiting anyone, they are just paying whatever a workers skills happen to be worth.
