How do these people not get that higher pay = less jobs?? And when did minimum wage jobs become lifetime careers?

Not to mention higher prices all around. .... apparently, the words "entry level" have lost all meaning...

It just dawned on me while reading that. The issue is that the economy here has gotten so bad that grownups are filling jobs traditionally filled by kids. If those positions (burger flippers, paper boys) were still being filled by kids we'd never hear a peep. But, these people actually ARE trying to raise a family and buy a car.

Wow...

And, good luck to the kids trying to get those jobs. There are a dozen 30-somethings from America's beard (Mexico) waiting for that burger-and-fries job, junior... Kids needs jobs like that to get their experience. Nope... No more of that.

These links that require a account are irritating. I have no interest in subscribing to this yellow journal.
