>If there's 10 applicants clamoring to compete on price, you *are* lucky to have a job.
No.
That employer is lucky to have a temporary advantage, but will soon be out of business if people don't have money to buy its products.
The person who gets the job is not lucky, because that situation will only deteriorate.
The wrong job is not better than no job.
That's a con perpetuated by union-busters and the like.
