True, but the government makes it harder to hire people. You used to be able to hire someone for an afternoon to sweep your store's floors and pay them in cash, allowing people not suited for or capable of full-time work to contribute and make enough money to afford a room and buy some food. Now you have to fill out tons of paperwork, make sure they have a copy of your sexual harassment policies, and be willing to commit to them for life or risk being sued.
