The other day I was listening to Alabama’s 40 Hour Week, a song I had heard countless times. But one lyric stood out to me that I hadn’t noticed before:
“But the fruits of their labor are worth more than their pay
And it’s time a few of them were recognized.”
I’m not sure if that is supposed to be merely an observation, a complaint, or a line designed to appeal to those who don’t understand the concept of employment.
Would you employ someone whose labor was worth less than their pay?
