I read people saying that a suit makes someone look more trust worthy and professional – you mean the politicians who display planetary levels of incompetence and greed? The CEOs and middle management who rob their workers and can't tie their shoe laces without those who slave under them?

That is, workers either agree to work more for the same overall pay (i.e .take less pay per hour of work) or agree to take less pay for the same amount of work (i.e. take less pay per hour of work, also) if they are unable to get work easily (i.e. sell the “resource”/“product” that is their labour).
