The ones in California had to be mostly all Hispanics because if you were born here and don’t speak Spanish often you can not get work.
Places like Boston don’t get this because they don’t yet have an invasion from the south operating there yet.
Retail work will be disappearing as technology advances. There are more self-checkouts and technology is being tested that will let you pick up items and walk out without checking out and they will be billed to your credit card. (I presume if you do not have a card you will be stopped from leaving.) As for food service, more of that will be self serve also. These trends are being driven by government meddling to force companies to pay low wage earners more. There are also onerous fees (taxes) for hiring people and those occur at all levels of government, including city and county.
It is not really “minimum” if you get paid $15/hr.
And I bet the vast majority of those jobs are convienently just below the Obamacare full time designation threshold.
Read this, thought the same thing.
Shades of “Snowcrash” where the major employers in the US are fast food chains and the choice jobs go to delivery drivers and messengers.

What cities are these?
George Soros circa 2009
If the economy continues to improve as it has been noted by the liberals, the waiters and retail sales people will be out of work because nobody will have the money to eat out or buy any goods....
Wow! So much for those high-paying STEM jobs everyone’s touting.
I assume national.
In our Alice in Wonderland political environment, that is only going to generate louder calls for a $15 minimum wage.
Reagan brought it down by including the military in the 'employed' number for the first time. Clinton brought the unemployment rate down by excluding inner city populations from the surveys. Then just before the end of his term, he had the inner cities re-included to make Bush look bad.
Or is it -665,000?

That’s bad enough, but when you consider that most of those jobs were probably filled by illegals, than it’s a real disaster for citizens.
