PS -  And "Yes".  I have taken classes in economics, both macro- and micro-.

 

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving
safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, chocolate in one hand, a drink in the other, body thoroughly used
up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO. What a ride!'"

Labor is subject to market forces too. The company offering $1 per hour for
labor in your scenario would not be able to buy labor at that price and so
would not be able to fill its vacancies.
Have you ever studied economics?
