Given youre the owner of the company. advantages includes a subcontractor can be called in when necessary rather than having them working for you permanently. You dont have to worry about pension, national insurance, holiday pay etc. disadvantages - subcontractprs may be hard to find in the area you want, they charge per hour, are not under your control

The most obvious example I can think of, which was always discussed in my macroeconomics class, is the minimum wage:  if the minimum wage goes up too far, employers will find it too expensive to employ many workers, so they will lay people off, and the unemployment rate will rise.\n\nBasically, any labor/welfare related policy that makes it more expensive or less efficient for employers to do business will create unemployment.  \n\nThis has particularly been a problem in France (where unemployment is 10 or 11%) because of all the benefits given to workers: it is nearly impossible for a French company to fire its workers, so therefore they hire less people, and unemployment is high.\n\nBelow are some good sources on this issue:

Minimum wage increases generally don't effect much except the very low end items that minimum wage earner purchase.  Other than that it is generally a good thing for very low wage earners.

advantages - more workers etc.\ndisadvantages - more people with less space (the cities expand onto the agricutlural land) and more food (agricultural products, for more people) have to be produced on the smaller space of land. in general, more people with less space for food. also the more people create more pollution.\n\nhope that helped! xox good luck!

The effects can vary depending on the country.  If the people in the "overpopulation" group do not have money,then they are a drag on the social services (schools, hospitals, etc.) of the country.  If these people have jobs then they are consumers and they drive the economy.  Yet if they spend too much then the govt. has to raise interest rates.  So you can see the effects would be different.  Many people equals many potential employees, so employers don't have to raise wages because there is no demand for it because workers are plentiful.  When workers are not plentiful, employers have to raise wages to attract the smaller pool of workers.  Effects can be positive and negative.

This can certainly be argued both ways. Sure, it takes away from jobs at home.  But it has helped to cut costs, streamline organizations and boost profits (which has positive effects on the economy). It strengthens relationships with these countires. I am Canadian.  Working for an American company. I've worked for a few US companies.\nThe U.S., or any country for that matter, can not, in any way possible, supply itself with the materials and support to be entirely self-sufficient.

To add to #1, imposing tariffs also often results in higher prices for consumers. Witness Bush's tariffs on imported steel. It resulted in higher prices for steel, which while good for steel companies (temporary), caused real harm to industries that use steel.\n\nFor example, the automotive suppliers who use steel were hit hard, with many going bankrupt being squeezed between steel's rising costs and OEM's refusal to renegotiate contracts, forcing some of them to sell products at a loss. So more jobs were lost than saved by this protectionism.\n\nTariffs can also trigger trade wars, damaging the economies of all countries involved.

well, you only have a one time pay for the machines, and some maintanance costs, so you don't have to pay armies of workers to do the jobs. the machines are less likely to fail and they can work non-stop.\n\npreety good increase in efficency i guess.

Unionization always helps to resolve the difficulties of workers provided the union is not corrupt or lazy-\nService worker have difficulties with- unpaid overtime, denial of benefits, misuse of pension funds, sexual abuse...pretty much the same as all workers

Slave Labor is free. Slaves don't get to own property. Is that your idea of a profitable benefit?\n\nIn the USA the wealth of the south was built on a slave based economy. Much like the Nazi's, they could not have accumulated nearly as much wealth if they had actually had to PAY their workers.\n\nThe Nazis, however, had one up on the American slave owners. The people that the Nazi's imprisoned, tortured and murdered were often wealthy property and business owners. Everything owned by the millions of people murdered became the property of the Nazi regime. When I say everything I mean all of their possessions, houses, businesses, bank accounts and even their fillings, eyeglasses and shoes!\n\nAs for the other people in the multiple countries that participated in these exterminations, they happily turned a blind eye to the atrocities being committed around them in exchange for the Nazi's promises of prosperity and national pride.\n\nThere is NOTHING "right" about the "insult", murder or torture of ANY human beings. To this day many people of Germany are ashamed of the legacy of mass murder left for them by Hitler and their own ancestors.

It would affect the US economy,  no doubt. In labour intensive areas like agriculture, it would result in the increase of prices while our tax money which goes to support the illegal immigrants will see a reduction. Everyone is worried about how the average Ameican who is so dependent on the labour will fend for himself. \n\nAlso, not all the people who are doing manual labour are Mexicans/ Latinos. And not all Latinos illegals either.  \n\nLastly, it will also get all the couch potatoes up and a obese nation on it's toes again - maybe we needed this to jolt us out of our sedentary lifestyle into a more active one?

There are some benefits.  For example, if you work on an assembly line that makes cars, the marketing department of the car company influences the public to buy the product you produce.  This helps "move product" and pays your wages.  However, the over commercialization and corporate blight of all public spaces has no real advantage to society.
