Wages

Wages are now getting lower while the price of daily needs are increasing... Why?

I passed by KFC near my house today... i always pass by if 'm walking from Pyramid back home... and to my surprise... the wage for a KFC worker is now RM 3 per hour. which compare to approx 3-4 months before is 50cent lesser and compare to 4-5 years b4 ... it's RM 2 lesser now..

Has any Economist review this problem and bring it up as a journal or wat so ever?? I've not done anything deep on this subject.. so i shall not be bias in this subject... rather juz spilt out my points..

How could this ever happen ?? In a so called Developed State?? arent this suppose to lead to more cases of proverty?? This is making people's life harder and harder as days goes by...

On this hand, the wages goes down.... on the other, the price of fuel goes up drastically that our government could not afford to pay so much as subsidies and constantly increasing the price of petrol.. with this incresement, Businessmans would start to increase the price of thier products... is a chain reaction that caused several other things to increase in price...

Is this what we call a balance society??

The rich is getting richer by day and the poor is not getting better anyway...

and lastly, is it balance to have a graph that one line is going down ( the wages of workers) and and anthoer line going up( the price of goods)?? i doneo how it will be read by an economist... but i will say that i this not a balance system where it should be...

Unbelieveable...the pay is so low!!!If the worker work 10 hours per day, he/she can earn rm30 only.After minus some cost like transport, meals,etc...may be the gross income around rm20 only.This is so little!!! As you mention in ur article...the price of goods are increasing drastically,how can he/she able to support his/her life?
