Talk:Labor mobility

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I did a search of wikipedia for uses of this two word phrase and found several that atually link to here. In no case did I find any ridiculous concept of transporting laborers from one place to another being referred to as "labor mobility". Nor would any rational and intelligent person concerned with real economics, political economy, or social systems use the phrase in that manner. This phrase refers to the "right" and the ability of labor itself, i.e. to find opportunity geographically, politically, and economically. Sucinctly, it is the ease with which labor can move between opportunities, and only obliquely is it the ease with which labor can be moved between opportunities. It is _NOT_ the ease with which aristocrats can move wage slaves around so as to make a profit. The wiki police will screech POV when I do this, but please take the time to review the actual links to this page from other wiki pages and you'll find that I ain't the only dude with that POV. Sorry, but that word "political" in front of that word "economy" isn't just window dressing--The Trucker 18:43, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
