>you're essentially saying that those workers have better options already available

If you're following the fable of capitalism, those people should start their own, more efficient businesses if none are available.

Yes? Or just get hired by one? Or change field? Or move?

It's no fable. Some of us don't have what it takes to start their own company, that's true.

Probably there is no hope for some. I don't know how you'd show that there is a system that doesn't suffer from this problem. I mean, you'd have to show that even with less incentive to produce and more demand for products (since everyone is owed "decent living" or whatever it's called nowadays), there is no possibility for demand to exceed production.
