Document Summary
Firms are not in the business of hiring u. Why they hire u is for what u can do, and the elasticity of demand for the products. When products are inelastic, the demand for labour in those industries, makes the demand more resistant to change. If product is inelastic, than it is better for the workers. Doctors , not much substitute for what they can do. Fortunate if u work in a firm that the labour cost is a smaller part of their total costs. Intrinsically, workers aren"t the things that firms want, any chance a firm has to replace workers with technology, the bargaining room for workers decreases. All this bargaining is based on the economic factors, which undermine whether or not u can get a raise, and stuff. Before keynes people didn"t talk much about macroeconomics, because everyone just assumed the world was a aggregation of the individual effects of the study.
