In the spirit of Labor Day...where are the jobs?

Question

I've seen so many posts here from Repubs/Conservatives telling folks to just "get a job" that I'm wondering, where are those jobs? And I don't mean the minimum-wage, part-time jobs.

Since America has lost its manufacturing base, or at least shipped those jobs to Mexico or overseas, and moved toward the "service" economy, where are these jobs that pay more than minimum wage AND provide affordable health insurance for a family?

It's easy to SAY "get a job". So how easy is it to actually DO that?

Here's your chance to make "trickle-down" work!

Where are those "jobs" you keep telling people to get?

Answer 4

I've got two jobs actually.  I work full time for my county and am contracted out to one of our cities independently during my spare time.  If someone doesn't have a job, they should consider sucking up their pride and taking one or two of those minimum-wage jobs that might be "beneath" them before they use any more of my tax dollars to fund their lives.  McDonalds has health care and dental too.  That's what it says on the drive-through window.  I don't even get dental and I'm a college graduate who works in government for crying out loud.  How picky do some people think they're allowed to be?

Answer 5

I had three jobs at one time  you cant find 1?
