This article appears to written from a far too capitalistic paradigm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.171.25.34 ( talk) 22:49, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
I agree I just read the article and found the intro "Employment is a contract between two parties, one being the employer and the other being the employee. Employment opportunity comes directly from investment (including foreign direct investment and investment bank) to gain excessive profit in a Business plan in the capitalist economy." to be very biased and not NPV. There are or have been systems other than capitalism that have created jobs. In addition to which no investment or business plan is necessary for a job to be created. For example a porter does not need an investment to create their own job. Nor do they need a business plan. They simply need to wait around at a place where people are likely to need something to be carried. I don't have the knowledge to rewrite the article well, but I think it is in dire need of a more NPV rewrite.

In the United States, the standard employment relationship is not a contract and is considered to be at-will meaning that the employer and employee are both free to terminate the employment at any time and for any cause, or for no cause at all.
What's the situation in other countries? Does one get sued or jailed for quitting a job as a stock boy in Mexico City, London, or Bangladesh? If the situation is different elsewhere, it should be explained. If not, the "in the United States" statement should be removed. I'm pretty sure that throughout the free world, the typical laborer can leave employment at will. There are exceptions, of course, but that's why the word "standard" is there.

Is it really a contract, classical contract theory requires freedom to contract, and equal power position of contracting parties. Doe a person without sufficent money have a real choice about the terms of the contract they enter into???? JUBALCAIN 06:30, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

" . . . By the mid-1990s, Los Angeles had become the nation’s capital of low-wage labor and remains so to this day: Twenty-eight percent of full-time workers in L.A. County make less than $25,000 a year. In Chicago, only 19 percent of workers earn so little. . . "
I think this has some interesting material. Now, this article does seem to have a viewpoint, but I don't think we should exclude it for that reason. FriendlyRiverOtter ( talk) 18:26, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
