Why do all wages have to be livable? Most of us have had plenty of jobs for extra money at various points in our lifetimes. Under no circumstances did they constitute livable wages. What changed?


A few things.

We started requiring college degrees for jobs that simply don’t need them.

Older folks have stayed in positions that workers would move into through promotion because of the increase of cost of living and retirement that has likely been hit by multiple recessions. That’s prevented your usually upward mobility into jobs with livable wages.

Construction outfits will hire them today, with no training.

Train them to make a real wage.

Fast food workers are too lazy for actual labor, and are too incompetent to learn a skill.. They want the government to keep giving them raises.
