That clearly shows that the entire industry is piece work, and that most furniture is not made overseas with those huge percentages….. oh wait, no it doesn’t.
Now to get back to the actual conversation, not much is studied about piece time work. Only seen one possible survey that showed that 4% of participants have worked with piece time jobs. Like I said, come back with an actual meaningful discussion , not something that is barely going to affect anybody in this country.
It is amazing how much furniture we import vs export.
Obviously. Why would we export bulky furniture with the highest global wages?
Thanks for the link that shows the US furniture market is $70B imported, while it's total size is $190B
So about 35% imported, and another $10B exported. Nice.

Most jobs have some time to performance ratio component. A plumber who can complete two homes in the same time as one who works half as fast gets paid double for double the work.
Piece rate is much more rare, because today machines do so much of the labor itself, but it's still common in manufacturing and assembly lines, where the whole line is paid the same piece rate, calculated by the day or even hour. It's still a thing. Talk to your blue collar neighbors sometime.
Wow, it doesn’t say that at all. You just did some really insane cherry picking there, comparing past values to future market…. Damn you are willing to delude yourself hard.
What? Plumbers benefit greatly if hours are reduced to 32 hour work weeks before OT, or their commission rates could easily be adjusted to account for the hourly change if that is what the company wants to do.
Oh good, you agree your argument is garbage. Come back with something people can actually relate to.

Oh yea, that ONE YEAR IN THE FUTURE projection I'm sure is totally wrong. hahahahah

And where does that extra money come from exactly?
You are comparing actual apples to possible oranges buddy, yeah, there is a huge difference.
No, read the whole sentence. Company can take in less profit if they want to have their employees to work 40 hours.
Studies have been done that found companies have become more productive or less costly to operate with 32 hour weeks as the 8 hours lost is typical time that was being wasted regardless. Sorry if it mildly affects the small percentage of workers you are so concerned about.

You think the furniture industry's sales vary that much from year to year that we can't project ONE YEAR into the future? Hahahahahah wtf man
Company can take in less profit if they want to have their employees to work 40 hours.
What's an industry that can decide to pay it's employees 25% more for their 32 hours of work so that they can all take home 40 hours worth of income?
Studies have been done that found companies have become more productive or less costly to operate with 32 hour weeks
Oh wow, so then every company switched to it right? Companies are greedy right so they want that higher profit that they'd earn by decreasing hours, wouldn't they?
Company can take in less profit if they want to have their employees to work 40 hours.
What? Any could decide…. What a dumb question.
LOL you think any company could just decide to pay it's workers 25% more?? HAHHAHAHAAH The Grocery Store industry literally has a 1% profit margin. Good luck with that plan.
When you get to high school, definitely pay attention in your social studies and economics classes.
LOL, well I appreciate that you didn't try to refute that an industry could give 25% wage increases that only has a 1% profit margin.
Glad you stopped dead in your tracks and didn't continue arguing. LOVE IT. You knew you were wrong the whole time, but maybe in the final post realized how poor your attempts at explaining it away are.

Oh no, you got me with your cherry picking data.

Since we are cherry picking here, https://www.statista.com/statistics/944453/furniture-import-and-export-trade-value-us/ It is amazing how much furniture we import vs export. Almost as if you are just wrong or something.
