He doesn't mention the change in definition - but he does mention the
lower number of hours being worked. How many hours a week are now
enough to get a person off being defined as "unemployed". JohnO?
Is it
one hour a week? Two? If we define it suitably the unemployment rate
drops! Cue article about great workplace participation!

If that were so then, logically, it also implies that the lower the wage thehigher the profit. Ever-higher profit is capital's ultimately unattainable Nirvana simply because it's based on the dumb fantasy of some imagined infinity.
(This same dumb fantasy also fuels the fear-driven greed of the corporateshareholder and his stock-options CEO, not to mention the grubbingly venal property speculator.)
However, we must eventually arrive at a reductio ad absurdum where the
employee earns nothing while the revenue to his employer from his labour istheoretically immeasurable-to-infinite - IOW, slave labour, and it still continues with a corrosive vengeance right across the globe.
Today in the 'developed' world where we are told wealth has never been soabundant, it is the falling borderline between the low-waged and the unpaid slave that raises concerns, even for the over-monied capitalist-driven likes of
In the racket of the howling, gluttonous money-grabbing that today passes forcivilised commerce, its just too easy to forget that no wages means no
consumption since, for capital even to survive let alone exist as anythingmore than a tub-thumped ideology, worker-led wage-funded consumption can only ever be its life-blood.
"Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit oflabor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration."
(Abraham Lincoln in his first address to Congress, 1861.)
