all 'cutting back' means is having less to spend and provide necessities.

neither are you...
by the statements you're making, it means that job wages won't increase at all and are flat. But they aren't. You are also implying that people cannot or are not free to look for another job that pays more. Employers are always on the lookout for better talent and must be competetive in their wages.
People also change careers because wages are attractive. In the gogo 90's people took computer courses because the demand was high. It was so high that ancillary jobs like headhunters placing them also increased.
Your statement is an old statement that seems based on the old job cradle to grave mentality of yesteryear.
