labor going to use in parliamentary labor parties in many countries women started to get the french as and so on she had of other means of controlling people and it was understood and expressed they have to control them by control of. beliefs and attitudes well one of the best ways to control people in terms of attitudes is what the great political economists they're stunned blind called fabricating consumers. if you can fabricate want to. make obtaining things that are just about within your reach the essence of life they're going to be trapped into becoming a consumer's. and you read the business press say nine hundred twenty s. it talks about the need to direct people to the superficial things of life like fashionable consumption and that will keep them out of our hair. you find this doctrine all through progressive intellectual thought but walter lippmann the major progress of intellectual of the twentieth century. he wrote famous progressive essays on democracy in which his view was exactly that the public must be put in their place so that the responsible men can make decisions w

labor organizations in the united states that had members in canada, and many labor organizations for example, the steelworkers have a third of their members in canada, machinists, the auto workers have two different organizations on either side of the border, but they work together on decisions, horrible decisions in my view, on trade like the closure of the gm plants on both sides of the border, they work together to get us the waiver. and moving to your second question, on tpp, we, one thing i did find out as ambassador, and really became very clear to me, that stake holders had a lot more say in the united states than customers, in either canada or the united states. this is something we should pay attention to, i would like the media to cover customers, as much as stakeholders. and that applies to both countries. people that drink milk in canada don't have as much say as people who produce milk. and people who are buying homes in the united states don't get as much say as the stakeholders in the u.s. this is one of the weaknesses of the trade discussions that are going on. but on

first in california there's a long transition from bound indian labor to free labor, to wage labor specifically for native californians. second the trend i see is recurring but nevertheless overwhelmingly powerful federal attempts to establish dominance in indian affairs that is dominance over indian people but also dominance over local citizens and local governments in the state government when it comes to indians. third i see ongoing challenges to federal authority from those local citizens. as an important factor in the long war era. so first with regard to the transition from indentured labor to free labor system, one of the first acts of the california legislature passes is the active government protection of indians which among other things allows for the bounding out of india labor. the amendment of 1860 two allow for apprenticeship for indian kids and adults and create a market for traffic indian children. elements of the system will survive the war through the war and after the war. but as it shows, in the frontier, that legal regime for indian indenture is not going to survive republi

labor market, but don't think there can be any misunderstanding that we're back in a high-pressure labor market. and that's a good thing. i quoted a few minutes ago an article from the "wall street journal." let me just read a little deeper from that article. as they talk about one face of the red-hot job market is a high school graduate who was making $8.25 an hour at a daycare center near biloxi, mississippi, just a few months ago. w she earns $19.80, that's almost $20 an hour, as an a rentice at a shipyard in nearby town. quoting from her, she's quoted in the article as saying, it's amazing that i'm getting paid almost $20 an hour to learn how to weld, she said. the single mother of a young daughter. when she finishes her two-year apprenticeship, her wage will rise to more than $27 an hour. such is the strength of a high-pressure labor market. and again, i would point out that since the inauguration of donald trump, our labor market has enin fact experienced a resur-- has in fact experienced a resurgence. that rising tide is indeed lifting all boats. it is incumbent upon us not to dam

we want to work and joined the labor force. and here is one other. the wages for individuals who make things, goods producing industries, those who make things, those who build things, those who construct things, those who manufacture things, for nonsupervisory goods producing employees, increased more than $2500 last year. that makes a big difference to an individual and to a family. now, i wanted to share those with you because i think it reflects the truth about this economy and the truth is that this economy is getting not just more people back to work, but more people back to work that weren't thinking of working before, more people in jobs that are paying better and better. you know, the quid rate is something that we don't talk about much, but it's almost at a record high. the quit rate is the rate people quit their jobs because they find another and better opportunity. and that's a reflection of this economy. so, what are the challenges? the challenges are preparing individuals and offering them the skills that this economy is looking for. an

some of the drop in labor force participation is because the market has been so bad for labor for so people have just dropped out. havee who would otherwise a difficult time anyway have dropped out completely. i think that is what we have seen over the last 20 years. most of that was because of the fed. romaine: you talk about the last 20 years. the labor force participation rate is still healthy. if you go back past 20 years, we're still above long-term averages, and some would say the distortions seen here have to do with trends that have nothing to do with economic policy ver -- economic policy. had we reconcile the fact that times just change and it may be out of the control of the fed? karl: i will see any reason to expect that here. there are a couple reasons why labor force participation might decline. participation, it has been declining because the population is getting older. i think that's prime age participation, people 25 to 54. there's a massive drop off. -- authoring that recession. recovery, a mass trump off from the great recession, and it picked back up recently. as

why is the labor partition ration rate -- labor participation rate for quote prime age workers as you would sit in your opening statement falling? we are seeing older workers, those increasing but sing prime -- seeing prime age chairman powell: that is a longer conversation and really important one and i think it's a range of things. it is people -- largely younger workers. it has to do with globalization. it's got to do with technology, it's got to do with the corporate crisis. it's got to do the flattening out of u.s. educational attainment over the years. so this is an incredibly important issue and i would love to talk more about it. >> i look forward to our next meeting. >> the gentleman from missouri is recognized for 5 minutes. >> thank you, madam chair. mr. chairman, at this very moment the u.s. trade representative is testifying before the ways and means committee and one of the issues they're going to go over is u.s.-china trade issues. according to the u.s. trade representative, in 2016, about 85,000 workers in missouri are employed because of our trade that is very -- that

and the big issue apparently for the democrats and labor is the enforce ability of the labor agreements -- of the labor provisions because they are very strong in in agreement. they came from tpp. and you know, in whole thing about throwing out tpp and throwing out nafta is really a joke, if not a farce. because this is very important, the provisions are very important. but are they enforceable is the big issue for labor and the democrats? and how do you make them enforceable i think is the crucial question for the democrats. and so that's my point. >> all right. it looks like we are out of time. thank you so much. [ applause ] >> and thank you to lauren and congressman crowley and congressman johnson. we have been talking about usmc or nafta 2.0 through the political lens. but of course it spt all about politics it's about industry. it has a keen interest in trade and trade agreements. but not every industry has the same perspective. so we have asked people representing a number of different sectors to join us here today to discuss and give us their opinions and give us their thoughts.

all the politicians the two main parties the ruling conservatives and the opposition may offer to labor party neither of which neither of them have of wanted to give a people's march the conservatives opposing almost without totally a labor has been extremely reluctant even though it's. official party policy but it's a real last resort i have to say though because the new prime minister is not here in london and neither is the labor party leader gerry corbett but gerry cauldrons deputy tom watson was here and he spoke from the stage and said the following that the labor party will support the government's bracks a deal but only if the government lets the people have another vote and that for me was quite a significant statement it's a real evolution in the labor stance towards eight people's votes and i think it brings the prospect of a people's vote somewhat closer no guarantees but some are closer as whether it will stop bracks it altogether i wasn't necessarily the aim of today's march although many people i suspect would hope for it what they at least want to have is a say on the fi
