What's a "worker" - when you hear that word, what do you think it means?

Question

In her book "It Takes a Village," Hillary Clinton wrote that the "lowest paid German worker" makes more than the "lowest paid American worker."

Right.

But only if the definition of a "worker" is someone who actually has a job.

They have a higher price floor on labor in Germany - a higher mandatory minimum that you must pay a "worker" - - meaning anyone whose labor is worth below that amount doesn't get a job, thus isn't a "worker."

That is why they have twice our rate of unemployment in Germany - CONSISTENTLY twice our rate of unemployment - even though we import poor and unskilled immigrants into our workforce every year at a much faster pace than Germany does.

Their "lowest paid worker" makes more but only because they take another 5% of low-paid workers and freeze them out of a job, thus they're not workers - all the people making $0 simply don't count! If they did, it wouldn't be a true statement!

Answer 1

Mrs. Clinton is a socialist. She wants the US government to take over everything. She is trying to promote an agenda that very few people support.

Answer 2

Anyone that does not fall into the category of
Professional or management are considered workers.
The medium income for one person is about $36,000.00 but that amount is misleading because it includes professional & management.
If the medium income were based on just the workers that amount would be about $18,000.00 per person
So what she is saying is in fact true.
Did you know that anyone holding a license is a professional, like tug boat captains, realtor , hair stylist, besides the one you normal think of like Dr. lawyers
