[547] BHales: Do Laborers Care. Of course the laborer is not only interested in what
he receives! While he is concerned with what he
receives in terms of wages, it is not the only factor
considered when deciding whether to labor. The laborer
is conscious of what he has to give to get his wage.
For example, if a capitalist offers $500 a day for
labor, he will have prospective laborers lining up at
the door to receive employment. However, upon finding
out that the labor requires the laborer to hold a 100
lb weight above his head for 8 hours straight; one
might reconsider what he is giving rather than
receiving before making a decision to labor. |
