To continue the discussion, or as @Robertj21a called it “rant”, about the state of the economy from the other thread.
The current economy is clearly broken or the jobs that have been “created” to enable the claims of ultra low unemployment are all low paid, insecure work. I read an article recently from an economist that very neatly explained why wage growth is virtually none existent for most people in this country. Automation is hollowing out the middle class, middle paying jobs and only creating poorly paid insecure work. Now we know Mrs May loves companies that create insecure work as she publicly praised companies that pride themselves on business models that rely on poorly paid, insecure jobs.
