The first thing I think of is a worker, usually an hourly paid worker, who shows up and does the "stuff" that needs done. The Labor Force usually works at the pleasure/need of the boss, who usually represents the best interest of either a for profit, or not for profit institution.
The hourly worker, Laborer, works for a specified amount of money and hopefully benefit, (no benefits are not free, people actually have to work for them). The hourly worker gets paid the same wage no matter what the company/institution makes the same day. If the company has a really good year and makes a profit, that can sometimes be distributed to the Labor Force in a manner of a bonus or salary increase. But basically, the profit benefits the company owner/owners/shareholders.
Now what about the word Labor? After the hourly worker, I think about my "labor" when I gave birth to 4 children, I labored for hours, it was really hard work (no one better disagree with this, I dare you).
Then I think about "labored breathing", which can happen whenever you work really hard or suffer from some type of physical ailment, basically it's hard breathing.
Then I think about "laboring while I'm pulling weeds in my garden" which refers to the hard work I have to do to make things grow even though I know the same weeds will be back there in a couple weeks (repetitive labor).
Then I wonder about the Holiday I'm about to take over this Labor Day weekend
And I thank goodness for all of those who labor to make this world a better place and I'll be thinking about how hard it is to make a buck in this world, and how I hope we all have enough bucks to grill a hamburger and drink a beer with friends on the deck at Grandma's cabin.
Thank you all!
