Trickle-down economics is "wrong" according to the IMF

#59

Quote:There's a point being missed here as we discuss fast food jobs... the flight of manufacturing from the usa to foreign countries has created a stifled job market. Yes, prior to nafta, fast food and the service industry were mainly for kids.


Things done gone up and changed. You can't have an honest discussion of wages until you at least recognize the current situation. There are studies that show the average age of these workers is no longer in their teens or early 20s any more.


That's a problem for this country, no matter your political leaning...
 

Prior to 2008 the fast food industry was mainly for kids. There were always some adults who were so unskilled that they could only work in fast food, but the recession that never ends has forced adults to take those jobs. The solution is to fix the economy so those adults can once again get real jobs, not raise the minimum wage.
