Ways on Increasing a Country's Job Wages

[Cipher]

Excuse my ignorance regarding economics. Please if you would be so kind to list and explain ways on improving people's pocket monies.

High-level, undetailed answer: Increase the country's general prosperity + lots and lots of aggressive unions.

First of all, the country must answer this question: Why should foreign companies set up shop in the country? Unions are needed, but over-militant ones will drive companies overseas.

Next, who and how are you trading? Trade is the lifeblood of any economy in this time and age, and for most powers in ages past.

Fire all the immigrants, ship them elsewhere and simply increase wages of the natives.
Hokus pokus, everyone has a job and lots of tasks.

And then all the corporations move their base of operations to follow the immigrants where they were shipped...

Unless you can get the countries together so that the corporations have to play by the same rules in any country so that "leaving town" is no longer a way to hog the profits.

^No way man, there is profit where people work for peanuts. The perfect way to make money without fuss is indeed shiping your enterprize to areas where working twice as much for half the money is not strange.

And if that feels inhuman to you... what the hell do you think money is? Exploiting the needs of others, so you can gain more by selling something you bought cheap.

It is the psychotic need to maximize profit at the expense of any other responsibility that needs to be regulated and controlled since otherwise a "free market" isn't for more than a few seconds before the multinationals corrupt it. Such corporations are psychotic and anti-community - it requires communities to coordinate and minimize corruption if we're not going to change the definition of the legal instrument of incorporation.

Bah, there is no profit in a just state of trade and employment. If you let money to move "freely" exploitation is bound to happen. If you are free to cheat and nobody's going to stop you, why not do it? Then again, if you form an organization inspecting exploitation (something that already exists in local markets) then antagonism in any occupation becomes a nightmare as everyone needs to have the same stantarts, ISOs, guaranties, etc, or lose his job. Because the buyers don't chose based on profit but based on "whom looks nicer to go to". Thus public relations become a lot more important and you end up acting like an English aristocrat, kissing asses for some business to come along. Hypocrisy replaces exploitation, thus the problem is still there.

Abstract answer: lower prices, increase efficiency, reduce inflation, none of which requires government/union. Then the REAL income will increase.

Develop real economic sector instead of selling air

Though some ns ideas listed above looks nice too
