| | Wage slavery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Extreme critics of capitalism argue that the same basic relationships are present in all capitalist societies, even if their impact is lessened by various traditions such as state accountability to the people and the establishment of a mixed economy. | | | The "at will" employment arrangement means that a worker may be fired (or quit) for any reason. | | | Critics of capitalism may view the working class to be slaves if employers have unrestricted power to fire individual workers; this is especially true if they can blacklist them from other employment (such blacklisting of suspected communists was instituted by employers during the McCarthy Era in the United States in Hollywood and other sectors). |

| | A maximum wage can be implemented through a direct limit on earnings, or indirectly by scaled taxation whereby the top earners in a society are taxed extremely high percentages of their income. | | | , several municipalities and local governments have enacted ordinances which set a minimum wage higher than the federal minimum for the purpose of requiring all jobs to meet the living wage for that region. | | | This standard is generally considered to require that a person working forty hours a week, with no additional income, should be able to afford |

| | As much as 90 percent of their wages went to pay off their expenses until their debt was cleared. | | | Wages at Walmart, now the largest private sector employer in the U.S., start as low as $5.75 an hour. | | | The American companies will probably respond in the abstract, that this is how the free market operates, and that they have to seek out lower costs and greater flexibility to be able to meet their customers changing demands. |

| | Thus idle slaves would become a drain on the owner's finance because they would still require feeding, housing, etc., regardless of whether they were working. | | | The Oregon prisoners are paid between $6 to $8 an hour but have to pay back up to 80 percent of that to cover the cost of their captivity. | | | The current thinking goes that any potential profit produced by prison slaves is better than none. |

| | The Agriculture Wages Board dealt with 40 complaints in the last tax year and issued one enforcement notice. | | | Staff at the agency were expected to be on call for long hours but were paid only if they were sent on a job. | | | Part of Labour's election manifestoand closely linked with its tax credits and New Deal policies, the national minimum wage forms part of the Government's drive to tackle poverty. |

| | It's equally important to make the interface intuitive and provide the player with the information they need in as meaningful and accessible a manner as possible. | | | You still make progress in small increments, there is minimal frustration as the penalties for failure are minimal, no frantic quick-saving is required (or possible), and except when you're close to finishing a mission, you can come and go at your discretion. | | | Even to the wage slave, time spent playing through the well-designed set pieces of "Half Life" is time well spent. |

| | This was another kind of wage slavery, but more congenial, and it provided a platform from which the talented young man was able to propel himself into higher education. | | | He won a scholarship to the Normal School of Science in South Kensington (later to become Imperial College), where he studied biology under Thomas Huxley, and eventually took a first-class degree in zoology. | | | When he could bear it no longer, Wells abandoned his apprenticeship to work as an unqualified teaching assistant. |
