Henry Ford raised his workers' wages in 1914 to $5 a day to reduce high employee turnover and improve productivity. By paying his workers more, he aimed to attract and retain skilled labor, which ultimately led to increased efficiency on the assembly line. Additionally, this move enabled workers to afford the cars they were producing, thereby expanding the market for his products and contributing to the growth of the middle class. This innovative approach helped set a new standard for labor practices in the industry.

David ricardo iron law of wages?

David Ricardo's "iron law of wages" basically states that parents would have more children if wages were raised. These children would then expand the number of workers and lower wages as they entered the labor market. Then, wages would fall and the workers would have fewer children. The process would then start over as wages would once again rise. He used this logic to advocate that wages would always tend toward a minimum level in the long run, hence the "iron law of wages" with static, unchanging wages. Many employers used this argument to support their natural reluctance to raise wages. This "iron law of wages" was also used to provide theoretical support for opposing labor unions.
