“The problem is that the quality of the stock of jobs
on offer has been deteriorating for the last 30 years,”
Well no shit.
If Unemployment Is So Low, Why Don’t Wages Go Up?
"Economists have long wondered: if unemployment is so low,
why aren’t we seeing more rapid wage increases?"
Cause greedy bastards are running the show.
Duh.
The progressive wing of the democratic party is right.
The system is rigged.
Why Is Participation In The Workforce So Low?
"Another perennial debate among economists is: why is participation in the workforce so low? Tens of millions of working-aged Americans are still not formally employed and have no apparent interest in sending out a resume."
"Workers don’t re-enter the workforce because many of the the jobs themselves are rotten."
Count me among them.
I'm gonna work your shity job with some jerk as a manager and still fall behind?
Fuck your system.
I'll figure out something else.
I hear that Waffle House ion Fla is still hiring Lucy.
:-).
Weren’t Manufacturing Jobs Replaced By Other Jobs?
“Lost manufacturing jobs were chiefly replaced by lower-wage/lower-hours service jobs.”
Duh.
Where the fuck these people been?
Why Didn’t High Tech Save the U.S. Economy?
"With other countries targeting what they see as high-value industries, the U.S. is not just in danger of, but actually has been, forced into greater reliance on low-value, low-growth industries, offering lower-wage, lower-hours jobs.”
What Do The New Jobs Actually Look Like?
“When all that a country has left is the domestic manufacture of processed foodstuffs,” concludes the JQI White Paper, “you end up with a lot of unhealthy and unwealthy workers who are in dire shortage of security, much less dignity. A republic that offers no better than this cannot long endure.”
You gotta be a rocket scientist to figure this shit out?
WTF?
I said this three years ago:
"How bout this?
These jobs aren't worth it.
They don't pay enough.
Why work for peanuts and barely get by and not have a life and basically be an indentured servant when you can do largely the same working lil odd jobs or hardly working at all?
You can work your whole life with these shitty ass jobs with nitwit ass kissin managers and you're never gonna have enough to retire on or put your kids through school.
So why even bother trying?"
