I wonder why unskilled labor wages are so low?? "Haskins said most poor and low-income workers are able to get jobs paying about $8 per hour." Could it because of the cheap labor policies of the government allowing the labor market to be flooded by legal and illegal workers? After all wages are a product of supply and demand, just like any other product. Anyone being paid below subsistence level will require taxpayer support, which is really a wage subsidy for the employers.
