> Oh yeah, like the jobs that pay $4.35 are SO tough to learn, …
Your sarcasm does not change the fact that low-paying jobs are low paying
because they are (a) unskilled, (b) have side benefits, (c)are a 'learning' or
'entry level' job, or (d) probably a few I missed.
Minimum wage jobs are taken by students, people newly in the job market, people
who cannot obtain the skills to do a higher paying job. More importantly, they
are taken by people who are willing to work, in preference to accepting
welfare.
Left alone, the market does an excellent job of regulating salaries,
production, pricing, and so on. Not left alone, it ends up going downhill, with
all the attendant suffering you see around you now.
