Let’s clear one thing up, they don’t carry around little pitchforks. They prefer tools that can cause more damage, like a hatchet or a sharp blade or two.

An important factor that impacts the economy is the unemployment percentage of a society. Workers are essential in gathering and producing resources that enable supply.
