That's a great nuanced answer. I urge against thinking of it as "blaming" workers, though. It's just a human tendency to be risk-averse and prefer stable income. That means the owners have to eat the volatility, which they aren't going to do for free.

There are also lots of labor costs that owners have to absorb, because of regulations. To an owner, that's effectively part of the workers' pay, whereas workers may not value those amenities at what they cost. That's one of the many ways the government exacerbates owner-worker relations.
