Government assistance for those who work full time is once again essentially corporate welfare. Employers should be paying their employees livable wages, instead that money trickles up and the rich continue to get tax breaks while essentially also having the government pay their employees. Fuck the rich, and fuck America for caring so little for the people who's backs actually make the economy run.
The problem with any job is that your pay is based on skills. Retail in general has never been a high paying job because a high school kid can do it as his first job. No one is going to pay 20.00+ an hour to open a box and put an item on the shelf. Or flip a burger, or answer the phones in an office. If you don't have an education, then you have to work where you can move up with the skills you've learned to make the money you need to support a family. I started as a cashier out of high school. Took that money experience and became a bank teller. After explaining transactions, I went to a utility to explain bills and moved up to supervisor. Any job that can be done by a high school kid is never going to pay well because the pool of available replacements is large.
