Service industries always take the hit when the economics is bad.
And then you see people in the U.S and other places praising the meteoric rise in fortunes when their favoured companies hit big numbers on their respective company share indexes.
Without giving so much as a second thought to the poor guy behind the counter having to work day long shifts because the company pay is so poor it's the only way they can afford to live.

@ViciDraco You're only liable for tax if you earn over a certain amount.
So you do less hours paid at one job then go do something else where the benefits in working there outweigh the cash earnings.

@Reason10 Clearly you don't understand either economics nor the business of supply and demand nor the regular habits of what your own governments do in times of economic crisis.
It's a historical thing anytime a government chooses to align itself with business....that contributes to party funding, and they're scared of it drying up, they'll pick on the earner before they do that.

@Picklebobble2 Ah. In the US when your tax bracket increases, you only pay the higher tax rate on money earned over when that bracket starts.
So if 0 to 10000 is 0% tax, 10001 to 20000 is 10% tax, and 20001+ is 20% tax (numbers chosen for easier math) earning 15000 would be a 500 dollar tax burden. Earning 20000 would be be a 1000 tax burden. Earning 20010 would be a 1002 dollar tax burden. You never lose money by making more, rather income becomes a system of diminishing returns. Unless it's long term investment income which is taxed at a generally lower rate than labor and short term investment income.
I don't know if many places in the US offer enough untaxed benefits that it would actually be worth splitting time between earnings job and benefits job.

Typical left wing goose stepping ENTITLEMENT mentality.
When you work a job, you do not DESERVE dignity, comfort and safety. You only DESERVE whatever money you and the employer were able to agree upon as your pay. THAT'S IT.
And if you don't like it, you can take those wonderful skills to another employer.
I don't look down on service industries, (partially because without them most Democrat high school dropouts would starve.) In ANY job, you are paid PRECISELY what you are worth.
It's as simple as that.
