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.
Shades of “Snowcrash” where the major employers in the US are fast food chains and the choice jobs go to delivery drivers and messengers.

Wow! So much for those high-paying STEM jobs everyone’s touting.
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.
So how does one explain the snap higher in January wages?
Simple: state regulations demanding higher wages for minimum wage workers starting January 1, which as discussed previously will promptly lead to employers passing on wage hikes costs to consumers in the form of 10% higher food prices starting in NYC and soon everywhere else.
Actually, a lot of restaurants are now shutting down in these locales because the minimum wage increase has put them out of business.
Even that is too much for the Dhimmicraps. They’d like no jobs — EVERYONE dependent on them.
