The Bracero program, an example of such policies, was an agreement between the U.S and Mexico that allowed for the importing of Mexican workers through the use of contracts.

Not all analysts agree with the three reports, arguing that STEM executives are causing the domestic STEM workforce shortages.

Additionally, staying with the thought process presented by Hogg (1979), actual correlation of prison rates and production modes was significantly neglected. Hogg mentions that Rusche and Kirchheimer’s thoughts over-stated the conditions within the labor market, when they should have been focusing more on the possible relationship between capitalism and incarceration.
