A significant feature of labor demand is the type of jobs that are available in the economy. Demand for the goods and service produced in the product market shifts over time. In reaction to this the demand for labor in some occupations and industries expands while in others it contracts leading to a large change in skills, education, and geographic locations required of workers.
A considerable concern to the blue collar workers is the structure of earnings (difference in earnings) among individual workers, occupations, industries and geographic areas. The concept of earnings may relate to average hourly earning, weekly earnings, annual earnings, or even lifetime earnings whichever concept is focused on we know the prices will always be on the rise. One is forced to explain what gives rise to the observed differential in earnings among workers at a point in time and why these differentials do not mimic the current prices. As the experts in Wall Street commodity speculators are predicting the gas prices will rise up to as much as $8 a gallon.
If that is speculation from Wall Street then we deserve and are entitled to a raise.
