I don’t think wages are the problem.
“...20,000 unemployed people are looking for work...”
I’ve been through Dayton lots of times, and when an employer says he can’t find qualified workers, what he’s really saying is that he can’t find enough non-druggies and non-felons who have a work ethic, can follow directions and can read and do basic math.

... And who’s willing to work for 25 hrs/week at $10/hr with no benefits and no job security!!!
And when you say, “non-felon” what exactly do you mean by “felon?” Is the State of Ohio furloughing people to apply for these jobs? Or do you mean black people who LOOK like they NEED jobs and therefore these employers associate them with hustlers and robbers and thieves?
Hell, even ex-cons need work and can ably do work.
But I do feel for you with the complain that so many workers can’t read and do math.
Fixed.
I know of a particular manufacturing facility in this area where 63% of job applicants are failing the drug test.

I lived in Dayton area for 14 years and still go there 1-2 times per year to visit my wife’s family. Your description fits Dayton to a ‘T’. It is a very depressed area and very unique in how the local people handle all those problems. So glad to get out of there 19 years ago.
BS...What they're really saying is they have no desire to see their golden goose, millions of low wage illegal labor and chain immigration taken away. They've been riding the low wage illegal gravy train for years, and have no desire to see it derailed.
In fact, the last persons I’d believe is the thousands of greedy unscrupulous employers, the same one’s who’ve literally sold out our country and hired tens of millions of these criminals.
What’s the bottom line?
Profits regardless of consequences.
