It isn't even real capitalism. All we see here is arguments about how tough it is for the poor employer, Nobody seems to know or care what actually happened to the layed-off workers or how the lives of the workers who were not layed off improved.
Somehow, I doubt that someone who doesn't have to work to pay the bills would voluntarily choose to work in the fast food industry. Generally, if someone takes a job "for fun," it will be in an industry connected to a hobby or a personal interest. For example, if I was in that position, I'd probably go back to working at a bike shop.
Where did you get that from? Nothing in the article stating that these were summer jobs.
It's the implication made by the folks who argue that these jobs are for "high school kids and housewives."
Not a right winger but you are just assuming something based on your right wing bias. There was nothing in the article about these jobs being summer jobs. You should stick to facts.
Yeah so why do they need to earn $20 an hour? Burgers are already expensive enough. Lol
Because that’s just the cost of labor in California.
Yes, along with everything else in this state. Labor is no exception.
Because it costs a lot to live in California. And if it costs a lot to live there, it costs a lot to provide labor there.
Once again those hamburger flipper jobs were never intended for that. It was intended for young inexperienced workers or people just looking for part time or temp work.
What I said ONLY applies to those who are lazy and want to be paid for doing nothing. Which is what I was responding to.
Ah.. I see the issue here. Let me try and explain. These jobs are very valuable and very important. They are unskilled jobs that are vital for people. Vital in order to gain work experience for the young, provide part time work for those who only want part time work, they provide flexible work hours for those who need them and aren't looking for solid career jobs. We recognize rhe need for these jobs and are concerned that fewer people are getting the opportunities they need and seek. By removing these opportunities its actually harming the workforce in the long run and preventing people from gaining work experience needed to move upward to better things.
No they aren't. Because they have had their hours and opportunities cut. Plus their food is now more expensive costing families more money out of their pockets to eat there.
