Many argue about the need to protect/boost agriculture and industry. Those are declining areas of the economy, especially when it comes to jobs.
Yet little advocacy for making it cheaper to buy services and more expensive to buy goods? Even though most workers are employed in the service sector, and have been for some time.
@LeoSammallahti I find it unclear what you are getting at outside of the lobbying power of big ag/industry. Advocacy for cheaper services, but more expensive goods? Does that benefit the service worker?
Depends on how it's done.
If we reduce the tax wedge that means (in the case of Finland just for an example) that I have to work for 50 minutes to hire a service worker that earns the same wage as I do for 10 minutes then it would be beneficial for the service sector workers.
