I have several friends who are small business owners. They have told me that their employees have a half life of six months on minimum wage. However, as a result of these short term employees, these owners do quite well. Therefore, it appears that as an employee, one should work for a large corporation who tends to have better pay and benefits than a small business where the churn of employees benefits the owner to the detriment of his employees. I wonder how a large bureaucratic employer can manage these increased margins to the benefit of the employees?
