Are many high school dropouts hired instead of degreed applicants for fast food jobs? There are easily enough unemployed graduates of colleges and universities to fill all of the fast food job openings, if they are also willing to do physical work.
A point I made in an earlier thread is that these are entry level jobs, but the problem with today's school system is that kids today are not prepared to LEAVE entry level jobs for the next step up.
That's why there is the demand for these jobs to pay like trade jobs, or professional jobs. It's to compensate the "lost generation" who were failed by the schools to prepare them for career jobs.
Articles like this are part of the Journo-List psyops to syncopate with the fast food worker strike today.
