The term "Wage slavery" is little used by commercially-controlled media, marrying as it does two concepts which the official narrative places as poles apart:- wages and slavery.

Concerns

In the U.S., around 3/5 of managers reported themselves "not engaged" or "actively disengaged" in their jobs. This was nevertheless the most engaged group of employees. A 2015 Gallup poll of US workers found that only around 1/3 was "engaged in" (i.e. involved in, enthusiastic about and committed to) their work.[1]

Nepal“500 migrant workers from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have died in Qatar since it won the right to host the World Cup 10 years ago, the Guardian can reveal.

The findings, compiled from government sources, mean an average of 12 migrant workers from these five south Asian nations have died each week since the night in December 2010 when the streets of Doha were filled with ecstatic crowds celebrating Qatar’s victory.

Data from India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka revealed there were 5,927 deaths of migrant workers in the period 2011–2020. Separately, data from Pakistan’s embassy in Qatar reported a further 824 deaths of Pakistani workers, between 2010 and 2020.”
