I'd rather a slightly weaker economy, relatively speaking, with wonderful things like guaranteed awards and a competitive Job market, than a higher GDP with cheaper labor over all.
Perhaps you do, but I'm sure all the people which were previously unable to find a job think otherwise...
The whole 0.2% of the labour market? We were basically at full employment anyway and the little bit extra is pointless realistically. We have more jobs avaliable than people looking for them, just people dont want to move to the mining areas for some stupid reason. This peice of legislation was put in at the wrong time, it was better suited for 1987 rather than 2007....
I also believe everything that Verte said, and I dont think we should realistically increase profit lines for businesses further and further, that is one of our big causes of inflation (and then realistically, that needs tighter taxation and modification of other legistlation rather than higher interest rates so as to combat the supply-pull rather than the cost-push mitigating measures they are using).
