BPI - Please remind us (those of us who live outside the Utopia that is America), the numbers of people in America applying for those great job positions you have outlined?
As I gather, the aim of American capitalism is to make the workers fight for jobs, to keep wages at minimal levels, and to ensure there's a large pool of unemployed fighting over those relatively few jobs on offer.
And this system is designed purely to reward corporations, their already-wealthy shareholders, and their already-wealthy senior management, in many gluttonous ways, as evidenced by senior corporate salaries and perks.

Personally, I much prefer our Australian system, which I consider better balanced overall - despite the gluttony of corporations here as well.
But then again, as far back as the 1920's, many American leaders apparently viewed Australia as a socialist paradise with unions running the place.

Fortunately, we've had a few good American imports such as King O'Malley who recognised corporate greed from his American experiences, and who set about controlling excessive corporate greed - of the banking sector, in particular.
What is more unfortunate is that spineless politicians in recent years have undone much of O'Malleys good work.
