The answer is simple.
Bring back manufacturing, from China.
I’m series.
And if they have no better jobs to go to, they will inevitably join unions and Leftist movements to push for a $15 minimum wage.
Some of us make very very good money behind a bar.
Wouldn’t a “Bartender” technically be in Manufacturing?? They are taking “raw” ingredients and creating a finished product aren’t they?? Isn’t that “Manufacturing”
The Barista Power Movement...
No, with all the pushing of greater minimum wages all you will get is more unemployment at the bottom.
Given the state of the economy, maybe that's a good thing.

Denton, Texas just approved a ban on fracking. I see that as a ban on jobs. Denton is a bit of a low income town, I just don’t understand why they would vote against fracking when it would bring in a ton of jobs.
This is the service based economy the left is striving to create.
No wealth is created by Americans selling hamburgers to each other.
On the flip side, there are lots of jobs out there. Some folks have 2 or 3.
Visiting Central FL—this as Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer declares Orlando a “number one center of job growth in the country” NOT. The “jobs” are barkeeps and floorsweepers for the many bars and hook joints in downtown, all owned by the tort bar lawyers like John Morgan, law partner with Charlie polesmoker Crist. What a lovely, fake place.
Orlando, the “service municipality” for the Whore of Babylon, Walt Disney World who, with their largely homosexual managagement and liberal support of obamaumao as media PR office/owner of ABC-TV, reports largest income quarter ever— after they raised day rates to over $100 per person to attend... what? The “destination” for the world. Walt Disney is spinning in his grave. But not Eisner.
And the hapless home and business owners of Orlando just got hit with a 17% increase in property taxes to support this “service corridor” run by corrupto liberal crats and no other local real industry except Lockheed.
They are trying to re-make LA with ALL of the same tactics and BS. A disgusting example of liberalism at work. Hand in hand with the RINOs.
Bring manufacturing back to the US. Real, productive jobs. Not hamburger flippers, and illegal alien floor sweepers. They created this nightmare, and are lying all the time.
In some locations, we are growing manufacturing.

That’s because robots aren’t as good at waiting tables and mixing drinks as they are at running an assembly line. Those jobs aren’t coming back, we quite simply no longer need people to build things.
(The increase in service positions is reflected by the increase in population, the lack of strong economic growth, and the large and growing underemployed population, thanks to Obamanomics.)
Jeez, you Freepers - look at the bright side; because they can't get jobs they have degrees for, we have the best educated bartenders anywhere!
“waitresses and bartenders...”
Is the service any better these days? I don’t think so. I’ve noticed that in a lot of restaurants, sports bars and even neighborhood joints, how the waitresses and/or bartenders are increasingly adopting an “all about us” image of themselves on the job. Employees commandeering the jukebox is one of my pet peeves...Let the customer have a turn once in awhile! AND if I’m discussing current events with the person sitting next to me and we keep it down to a low roar on a busy day, I’d prefer that the bartender would just worry about doing his or her job than to listen for “inappropriate” subject matter. And it goes on...
When the central bank is handing out money at near-no-interest rates, it means that economic opportunity -— where opportunity is created, and that is in small to medium size businesses -— is thwarted by either environment or government.
Obviously, in the USA, the government is a major obstacle to economic opportunity; mostly because the government is obsessed with its continuing theft of what is not its to take: our rights, our property, our sovereignty.
Our government does not own our Constitution - it belongs to the people and to the states.
If the recent election “said anything,” it was a rally around our blessed Bill of Rights, our First Ten Amendments to our Constitution, which are ignored by the leftists/liberals/progressives/socialists/banksters/lawyer-sters/liberal-and-Palace-media...sters.
ONLY when those monsters get off the backs of the people, and off the backs of our rights, our property, and our right to seek and grow opportunities ... will there be a significant positive response to lending.
Let alone several other improvements in the economies.
The economies do *NOT* live and die upon the largesse of the rich banksters/lawyersters/liberal-academica-Keynesian-istas/... and vitriol of the race card hustlers marketing “OH, THE DISPARITY!”
There is no spigot, despite the desires of all those socialist, allegedly enlightened (or not), to turn ON or turn OFF, some cash flows and thus control votes!
Instead, there is a spirit of free enterprise ... when politicians are *NOT* crushing it.
So, if you want improvements, you have to get the politico-bottlenecks, such as:
- some EPA regulations and dictates
- really lousy education regulations and dictates
- greedy landlord lobbyists who envision cheap laborers and ever-more-dense “developments” (so that EVERYWHERE is “sustainable” Detroit??!!
- etc.
... all, out of the way of actual progress.
Actual progress, the very thing that “progressives” are determined to STOP, and replace with Stalinism and Islamic chaos -— anything to promote these “progressive hustlers.”
Thats what the libs tried to claim about all of the jobs that were created during the Reagan administration. Low wage service sector employment
And furthermore ...
The prices of silver and gold are *not* set by “the markets.”
Silver and gold prices are set by central banks. Both metals are used to siphon away money from savers.
The prices are both lower, relative to a couple years ago, because savers have less money and/or have their “fill.”
Savers now are sitting on “precious metals” that the central banks could ruin, easily.
Any time that the U.S. GUBMINT decides to get back the gold, in particular, and then re-sell it, some president can simply issue an executive order.
Given the fact that too many federal agents are ignorant and oblivious to the sources of power ... ie from whence does their authority stem ... such agents will just go along to abuse and assert their authority in blind reaction to that executive order.
An executive order to take your property, is theft. It is a crime. Yet, given the fact that too many of the public, will ignore their sovereignty and would prefer to sit at home watching their favorite sport(s ... particularly the athletic team of their favorite universities that are federally-funded ... but these sporters voted Republican?! ...) then there is no significant objection to the abuses of power by The President and by Judges and by so many government agents.
Members of this very forum, Free Republic dot com, are often thrilled at the abuses of police powers by government agents. They are only inclined to object to some executive order written by their opponent, but if some “Republican” writes an executive order to steal from their neighbor, zzzz ... and back to the college football game.
To wit: there is no liberty where the recliners are warm.
The plantation way is to have one person working two part time jobs, instead of two people working full time.
