A Message to the Current/Future Government

Day 835, 11:08 • Published in North Korea

• by The Desk of Dear Leader

(I'd take screenshots of everything to make this easier to understand but I haven't installed any photo editing software since I reformatted yet, so brief text it is).

For the love of Georgia, please drop the Minimum Wage. If you check the market right now, the only jobs available for skills 0-2 are at a quality 5 food company. This is because at a quality 1 company (what most of the companies here are), offering 10 KPW for these skills would result in a 9-6 KPW loss per day for those companies. So that, coupled with the fact that a quality 1 company basically should only use skill 0-3 labor (especially with the world economy the way it is), means that it's pretty much impossible for Q1 companies to turn a profit in North Korea.

Now, if you were running state run companies that offered these wages as well so that the only offers available weren't from a wellness death company, then maybe I would have less complaints, but I have yet to see such a company since the change.

So please, respect the current world economic crisis and reduce the minimum wage so that company owners can possibly turn a profit here.

Also, good luck to NetNazgul tomorrow. If he is elected, North Korea will have the best chance to actually grow because he could actually get some sort of government established that the Neighbors to the North would not feel threatened by, whereas with KasedY you'd just get a third month of stagnation and with Celio the Russian paintrain would just roll through Pyongan and end the party again.

Thanks for your support.
As for minimum wage - we are now working on the economy structure, it was rather radical move but it was needed.

Actually, I do not see any big reasons to do that. Look at the country stats, you will see only 3 new citizens here. If I say that we are not close to babyboom, I think you will agree to me. Actually, I will be happy to give work to ANY honest newbie (not from botnet and not a multie), despite of the fact that it would be a loss of money for me. IMHO, we do not have any noticeable problems with that at the moment. If I am not right, please give me reasons why its so, and I will be the first for dropping down the minimal salary

The last democratically elected government tried this strategy, the bots just got moved to Florida.

Its not viable for me to open either of my companies in Hamyong with that minimum wage. If I did open them, all I would do is drive up wage prices due to the skill shortage in the narrow skill sector of 5+ where its financially viable to employ someone. Any one who wants to pay 10 KPW to employ someone below lvl 5 is a fool.
