Secondly, you could ask this same question more broadly: why aren’t employers hiring ANY of the millions of innovative, incredibly talented, experienced unemployed people anywhere? They are not only ignoring the Occupiers, they’re ignoring virtually everybody. Hence, the Occupation.

The reality is that companies aren’t going to hire here when they can improve their bottom line and make their shareholders happy by hiring people somewhere where they only have to pay workers $2/hour. Or $2/day. That’s the crux of the problem and it’s not going away until someone, somewhere makes it less advantageous to hire an Indonesian worker than to hire an American worker. Unless that happens, the only jobs that will be opening up in America are retail and food service and hospitality jobs where workers are making sub-middle class wages. No one who earns $8/hour has enough disposable income to blow $50 on dinner or $4000 on a family vacation or $300 on a nice new outfit. This is the economic conundrum we’re in today and have been in for some time. In the race to increase share value, large corporations leave the USA to hire cheap workers overseas. And our entire economy is suffering because of it.

I wouldn’t expect to see any employers rushing down to Zuccotti to hire people. And I don’t expect them to rush anywhere in particular to hire anyone. And I hope this explanation allows you to not spend a single ‘nother minute trying to understand why. Together, we need to address the regulations and loopholes that allow companies to wreak havoc on our economy in favor of the interests of a few shareholders. If we can’t change it, the USA will be the next “Indonesia”.
