Didn't say you did. However, the "service economy" created over the past 40 years shipped many of those better jobs overseas. Check out who's working in many of these places. You'll find 30 and 40 year olds. A bachelor's degree these days is worth about as much as a high school dropout 30 years ago. And those higher paid union jobs are largely gone. About the only way to make a real living these days is in the trades, and few are motivated to go there owing to the "college stigma".And so, many people actually DO depend on these former "entry level" jobs because for too many, that's as good as it gets. Now while I'll agree with you on the rest, maybe we should just put these folks on the dole instead of paying them a living wage. But somehow I suspect that won't be acceptable either. :) |
