63% of all jobs that were created since 1990 were low-wage, low-hour jobs
They should have gotten a trade or went to college for a real major.
Now STFU and get two jobs.
Had 2 jobs quite a number of times.
Life’s a bitch for everyone.

It is only what is to be expected of people who vote for Democrats not being able to get ahead. It shows that they are not capable of serious critical thinking which is necessary to move up the chain.

Those Women’s Studies degrees just don’t get you the paycheck they used to as a barista at the Starbucks.

The last three decades have seen the economy churn out more and more jobs that offer inadequate pay, a group of researchers found.
That is basically true under a series of Globalist Presidents. As of 2016 there's a new Sheriff in town.

This is why we have to bring manufacturing back from Asia and Mexico. Trump wants to, but the GOP establishment and Clinton Democrats fight him

"The history of private-sector employment in the U.S. over the past three decades is one of overall degradation in the ability of many American jobs to support households even those with multiple jobholders," they wrote.Doubt if that's true but even it is, that probably has more to do with the explosive growth of local, state and federal governments and their lucrative salaries, benefits and pension packages along with reckless government deficit spending.

They’re called “starter jobs.”
You’re not supposed to stay in the same job forever.
You get better jobs as your skills increase.
Democrats believe that nothing should ever change. Climate should never change. And people should never change. They should remain in the same racist caste assigned to them by Democrats forever.

Well, I bet if people paid less in taxes they’d be better off. But after federal taxes, and state taxes, and point-of-purchase taxes, most of us are lucky to have 63% of our money actually used for purchasing anything.

Stress is caused by unmet expectations. Too many people aren’t getting paid what they think they are worth. If you can’t change the pay... change your expectations.

That is basically true under a series of Globalist Presidents.Yup - Republicrats have been eagerly mass-offshoring jobs and mass-onshoring Third World serfs, legal and illegal.

Yup. Frustration with stagnant wages is one of the major factors that got Trump elected.

You see, the millions of jobs created during a Republican administration are low-wage, dead-end, crappy jobs which don’t support a family.
The meager jobs created during a Democrat administration are awesome! And when no jobs are created during a Democrat administration (Obama) it’s the new normal, you can’t wave a magic wand, and oh by the way, isn’t it great to be unemployed and reconnect with your family and your hobbies!

“... went to college for a real major.”
Agree with you there. Also IMO, Student Loans should be given for the sciences, math, engineering, BS degree etc.
