What? I don't think hiring unnecessary workers is what it's going to take to fix unemployment. If it worked that way they could hire a second guy to serve as co-driver for the automated trash truck. They could hire a third guy to supervise the driver and co-driver of the automated truck. Why not have 3 lazy guys riding around in the truck all day? Same difference as hiring an unnecessary crew to work on an
automated trash truck.
Hey, The city could hire people to move papers around in filing cabinets all day, dig ditches and fill them in again, etc. There's no reason we should have high unemployment when there is busy work to be done.
Saving the city money means (or SHOULD mean) that residents have more money in their pockets to stimulate the economy, hire real, needed workers, etc.
