why is unemployment under 6%? Because the new "hamberger turner" jobs offset the statistics. Those people have those great new jobs at a fraction of what they originally made. This is a reduction in American buying power and standard of living. It will eventually overtake you. Then you will wonder why nobody cares about your job loss.

You misspelled "hamburger."
Yes, there is a great divide between the people who turn hamburgers for a living, and the people who manage restaurants, and the people who own them. My grandparents owned their own restaurant, worked very long hours, and made good money. They turned plenty of hamburgers, too, but they made the profit, owned their own home and rental property, bought a new car every two years. The employees didn't do so well, but then, that's the breaks.
No, I don't expect anybody but me or my family to care whether I have a job.
