Unemployment, and so on

[kandrathe]

If the company has work to be done the company pays......I mean what about the guys that want to work for the company and now are out of a job because the company gets free employees?

By necessity, companies will always have more work than workers. What they don't have is the money to pay them. It seems pretty fundamental, but the purpose of the company is to earn profits. This means you need to keep costs less than gross sales.

The grocer, for example, makes only a few pennies for each item purchased. From the aggregate of millions of items sold, they can afford to pay for the store building, it's upkeep, it's employees, and the transport of the items from a farm, or wholesaler. But, it all comes down to the price you are willing to pay for the item in the store. It gets more complicated when the grocer is also publicly held on a stock exchange, but in essence a bunch of investors give the grocer money to open more stores with the desire to see a return on their investment from a portion of the grocer's profits. The grocer is willing to get a smaller portion of a larger pie.
