The problem is that businesses consider training costly and want someone already trained. It’s a paradox because somebody has to train and when no one trains that means the workforce ages without passing down their knowledge and businesses have to scour more and more land to find trained people to where they import the labor. It’s a zero sum game where the economy collapses.

Couldn’t businesses offer lower rates of pay for trainee positions to save some money? If they’re so desperate for labor, make someone a team leader and assign them some schmucks who you pay barely above minimum wage with the incentive that their pay increases after however long. Tons of manual labor jobs do that.

You see this in trucking and technician work to repair cars. Older workers are skilled and in time the business wants profit or sees a recession coming so they fire the old and hire young workers. Then the old they keep is the senior of that team. Sounds easy on paper but in reality the old that are kept can’t cover all that ground. The executive leaves before the problems show.

Economically, as debt expands the prices go up not off of demand but rather who is getting the loan. Then the economy is driven on speculation rather than customers buying stuff. Wages go up to pay for the expenses but in time the businesses profits comes from abstractions and trickery from the finances than actual sales from people with actual savings. In time it’s only an economy for executives that play games.
