Do you need to study economics in college to have knowledge on the subject?Did you take economics is college? Record profits means that supply and demand is not in balance. Usually from monopolization of assets. Just check the balance sheets on large corporations like insurance companies. Then calculate the difference is wage and salary between upper management and employees. I read in the DeFuniak Herald that a teacher can not afford housing in Walton County. And your solution is to shop elsewhere? Wow!
Did you study picking up dead leaves in college?
Profits come from numerous reasons
If you want to pick a specific industry and go over how they maximize profits lets do it but to put out a blanket statement is silly
The difference between management and employee wage has nothing to do with supply and demand
At any moment in time that employee can leave and find something else if they are not happy
You will need to add more context if you want some kind of real answer on your teacher situation
When did I say 'shop elsewhere'? I said make a better mousetrap
