So how long until food and weapon prices go up? We keep being told less and less people playing and people are not replacing them. Working overtime has helped replace some of this missed labor, but it is still not enough. All those people following the almighty cc are going to work for people in Serbia. They are earning a extra 4cc in each paycheck compared to the eUSA. What is 4cc you might ask? For some it might be everything, but more importantly it also keeps foreign workers from possibly coming here.
Wages are steadily increasing and also increases the work tax every time something is produced. The extra cost will eventually be passed to the consumer. The only people not affected are those that have people working around 1 cc.
At what price will the consumer not buy? How long can the regular business owner last? How long until its not worth their time to try and earn the little profit they do a month?
These are the questions I ask.
These are the questions I ask.
We have already been at the point that extra labor for food factories are not profitable and currently Q1/Q2 housing are not profitable at current wages. How long until the other factories?
If you don't think this is any concern please leave a comment in the comment section below. If you do think this a concern, also leave a comment, also be sure to V+C+S+E if you like what I have to say.

Nice thoughts, SBM. o/
Communes more or less have it figured out though 😛
maybe, but for a healthy market/healthy eNation you need to have both.
Communing is the only way, as I stated WAYYYYYY back on Day 669. http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/i-m-jude-connors-and-i-approve-this-message-945960/1/20
But people thought I was crazy - lol
I don't believe that to be case or this site would allow multi's
i think the housing market is still profitable at current wages. well for me any who
This is really interesting, nice article.
How did I only now see this? Great article. They need to fix the econ system. Or at least install a bot to keep the market running. 😕
I don't think that is going to fix this problem Either prices need to go up, which are being held bad by Communing, or wage levels need to drop back to 50 cc
They used to have a bot keeping the market running. Some people found way to exploit that and made loads of money from it. Myself including.
well I guess it needs to come back...

House raw materials at 0.14. One employee makes 500 HRM = 70 cc. Profit per employee is 10 cc.
That is not much, but it keeps the wages high.
Only very active citizens will move to another nation to get a higher wage. Even in nations where the wage is 35 cc, people get employees. Sadly, but in this case luckily, many players are not that active.
When wages are very high and tax income is rising, congress might change the work tax, as long as our war chest is filled. We will see.
Voted and endorsed, already subbed. o/
So, you are complaining that market wages on the eUS market are with $4 lower than those in eSerbia?
I agree that this is a problem. Any idea how to solve it?
I'm not complaining, it is just a observation. A possible fix is for eUSA to match eSerbia tax rate and then with current wages being higher then eSerbia you fix the earning gap in eUSA workers favor, but that is not a option for the eUSA currently with current activity.
Price of goods have increased to matched the wage increase. You have to create demand for items so the price increases. So create the demand for the goods that production can't keep up with demand.
So, your assumption is that lowering the tax rate will result in higher wages?
We already have higher wages, we need lower wages unless price of goods go up. This was fixing the problem of possibly finding more people to work for eUSA factories by getting people to work from other countries. That is why wages are at 62cc because people are not filling them.
