The first condition of "sweating" is an abundant and excessive
supply of low-skilled and inefficient labour. It needs no parade of
economic reasoning to show that where there are more persons
willing to do a particular kind of work than are required, the
wages for that work, if free competition is permitted, cannot be
more than what is just sufficient to induce the required number to
accept the work. In other words, where there exists any quantity of
unemployed competitors for low-skilled work, wages, hours of
labour, and other conditions of employment are so regulated, as to
present an attraction which just outweighs the alternatives open to
the unemployed, viz. odd jobs, stealing, starving, and the
poor-house.
