With unemployment the highest it's been in nine years (June - 6.4%), the job market is flooded with people competing for jobs and in many cases accepting lower than a living wage. Employers, who now have people beating down their doors for a job, can now pick and choose, pay lower wages, quit paying overtime, health benefits, etc.
And, how is a person without a job supposed to benefit from a tax cut?
