Dicey topic. My friends who own a store have always paid $15/hour, which, in their state, is $5 more than minimum wage “because we like having college grads working the sales counter.”
There really won’t be enough $50/hour jobs to go around, and there are few college grads working in the oil fields. I think.
I don’t know a solution that will work and will gain votes. How about building some infrastructure? Lots of roads and bridges in dangerous disrepair.
That $50/hr Average wage is not a starting one for those without experience.
And while there are some laborer jobs on bridges, I’m pretty sure more skilled workers are not only in demand but necessary. Of course Golfer-One may send a memo demanding illegal aliens, illiterate in two languages, and unskilled in any trade get set asides, while the sons of barry being only illiterate in one tongue have civil engineering jobs set aside.
So it is written, so it is done.
Will the GOP never learn? Why have Jon Karl, long-time liberal media hack, MC an event with conservative panelists?
