Getting to the nub of things? " 'In order to maintain the current average annual 0.5 percent growth rate of the labor force ...,' Allen wrote, “the state will need to attract about four and a half times the current number of people who move to the state."

Stated otherwise, keeping wages depressed needs adult immigration, or on a longer time frame greater fertility [no abortions] in the State (and nation), with business interests perhaps about to assert themselves because business interests want depressed wages; which becomes strange when even consumer goods retailers are taken into account.

Let them buy on credit? The banks are big fans of consumer credit accounts; a/k/a usury.

Disadvantage 'em and feed 'em beans; but not to where the engines of commerce are not kept humming. Great again? Ever?

And as to business interests asserting themselves, it need not be ham-handed as much as constant and uninterrupted. Look for that; a theme stated with different slants but a consistent message. Over and over.

UPDATE: Over and over? Here and also here, same outlet as cited above. Get the drift, personalize it to tell folks how to think:

Abril Gallardo, 27, has used the work permit she got through DACA to get a job as a communications director for a Phoenix advocacy group. That's allowed her to pay for college so far, although cutting off in her ability to work legally threatens that.

If she can't work anymore, Gallardo plans on helping with her mom's catering business and hopes to start their own family restaurant one day.

"The most important thing is that we're safe together, and we're there for each other," Gallardo said.

Evelin Salgado, 23, who came from Mexico 13 years ago, is worried about losing her job, her home and her driver's license if DACA is canceled.

"It's like my life is crumbling on top of me," said Salgado, who graduated from Murray State University in Kentucky last year and in is her second year as a high school Spanish teacher just outside Nashville, Tennessee.

"My hopes. My dreams. My aspirations. Everything my parents and I have worked so hard for. We don't know what's going to happen," she said.

Salgado and her parents rent a home and she helps them financially. They may be forced to move to a smaller home or an apartment "because if I lose my job, of course, we can't pay for it."

Her father works in landscaping and her mother washes dishes [...]

Gee. It's people like you and me with aspirations. Not businesses having aspirations. How wrong my initial reaction must be. Don't we all aspire? Each of us? Corporate management too, so why no focus/quoting from boss executives at UnitedHealth or Boeing? Or Minnesota Twins baseball team ownership? Would they be owning and/or running giant labor employers without aspirations, personal and corporate? Corporate aspirations putting great food on their executives' tables while the executives might be quoted about rising tide and all boats [not a good theme in today's Houston].
