This has me in a quandary. On 1 side I feel income should be based on supply and demand. Yet I also feel that taxpayer money should not help subsidize wages for a companies employees through welfare.

Education is great, but we need to promote job training for technicians, mechanics, repairmen etc. Not everyone needs to go to college and even fewer should go into debt to get a degree.

Education should make it clear flipping burgers is a dead end job, you cannot live or have a family at a minimum wage job.

This issue will likely be debated forever, due to ignorance of simple economic principles. I see no end in sight.

True to a point. But now days those are the only jobs..ie service industry and those are historically low wage jobs. I've got a degree and followed the law and I'm a decent person but I've found myself in a service job.

Education is hit or miss cause all these colleges are pumping ppl out the jobs are lowering wages.
My fiance was laid off from a very nice paralegal job. Now she's fighting to get a job, and she's got two choices. 1 take a job that starts out at a lot less or two dumb down her resume and look like she has minimal experience to look just like those being pumped out of college. Either way she's making nearly half of what she once was.

Don't think education is the total answer.

Be proud of those who come to work daily at those minimum wage jobs just to make a living.

There are good ppl out there trying.

Just did some quick internet research. According to some it seems Detroit's unemployment has dropped from 16% to 9% give or take a few factions of a point. You may want to consider retraining in a different carer path.
