So, I withdrew it. <br /><br />It has to do with continuous functions, and a lot of the assumptions that underlie what we refer to as accepted economic theory. <br /><br />But what happens, when some of these accepted, underlying assumptions occur against a background of external (exogenous) forces, that create unexpected shifts in normally smooth curves? <br /><br />Your post serves to re-enforce my observation that a lot of commonly held beliefs about employment aren't being represented by the current markets for the supply and demand for labour. There is no "smooth" curve. There are "ratchets" that occur, as people who are used to receiving a certain, higher wage are faced with the reality that increasing regulation and mandates are making them the target for force reduction. <br /><br />Middle-management is no longer secure. In fact, they may be the next wave of unemployable.<br /><br />Nice post.<br /><br />Thanks.<br />.Ten Mile Islandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06030532586953950296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17669835.post-82821935557576941672011-12-20T12:25:10.271-08:002011-12-20T12:25:10.271-08:00Most of those who continue to draw their breath an...Most of those who continue to draw their breath and their paycheck at "newspapers" today are nothing more than columnists.MAX Redlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12040240474444763721noreply@blogger.com
