The Now hiring signs that I see up in my area are for fast food workers or low wage workers. I don’t call that progress.
When you bring back Steel Mills, oil drilling, building nuke plants, tech jobs, then you will see the real hiring.
Like under Carter and Johnson, raises are small if any at all. What difference is 25 to 40 cents going to make in a minimum wage pay check or a low wage earners pay check. Now they face the O’care factor when hiring.
Even big cities with large Dem unions are seeing pension cuts, medical, and raises. Fire, Police, Teacher’s the highest effected. And since they have to live in Memphis to work there they face double property taxation. Memphis is a prime example of that. They just fired the black Dem mayor and elected a white Independent Mayor.
College is not for every one. Trade Schools need to be pushed, Jr. College too.
Some folks think that a job is something that can be put in a box and either shipped over seas or locked in some bank vault. Real life is that a job is when one guy pays someone else to do something, and if the gov't keeps raising taxes (like Trump's 45% tax hike) then we're going to see employers w/ even less money for hiring.
