Retail workers are quitting at record rates for higher-paying work: ‘My life isn’t worth a dead-end

[SleezyBigSlim]

I don't believe that, especially when there was plenty of manufacturing jobs around that time.

I dont know how old you are but back in the day brehs could have a mortgage and support their families on a janitors salary. It was always like that until the baby boomers generation.

Where else do you expect your teen to work then? You sound stupid, kids should be working those jobs that's who their for. Adults working those jobs are failures.

teens are in school most of the time, they can only work a certain amount of hours a week

Breh....citizens pay taxes to fund those services and to be more to the point. For example there is a stark contrast between inner city and suburban school districts. If these services were truly a Socialist approach, parents could send their children anywhere to learn as the education would be completely equal (which it isn't) and that is why Redlining is a huge problem in this country....

To tie this back to the main topic, better jobs bring up median income for a district, thus in turn bring better and more reliable services through greater tax revenue...

Can't generate a strong tax base with retail jobs as those incomes are augmented with AH, WIC, etc...

What are you complaining about

The Companies are the ones crying nobody wants to work retail jobs anymore

what's the problem

If the companies can't find anyone who wants to work there, they have to pay more end of story

everything you been posting has been irrelevant to the thread you sound like a republican cac with the juelzing

if people relied on those retail jobs or made careers out of them like you said, they would've already been back to work dumb ass

Skills determine the pay or is that hard for you to fathom? Anyone can stock a shelf, if they don't like it, that's on them..Level up....

Companies will eventually win out as Unemployment is going to end in September....

That is what I'm saying, it is a hard limit and earnings ceiling to this type of work. I worked customer service and moving jobs to fill gaps where my Financial Aid couldn't cover my tuition (summers/winters). A stop gap to pay for some necessities like books, etc. Even going ham and hitting over 70 hours in OT got half that shyt gobbled in taxes.

Kept my ass in line academically since I knew those jobs would be my future if I dropped out...

@NinoBrown how were you able to work 70 hours a week and still have time and energy to study, have sex with women, etc??

Lots of rest, exercise, and no stress tbh

Skills determine the pay

uhh, that's just one factor.

And second, how do you even put a price on skill? You're too simplistic.

Or maybe, just maybe, Adults need to get off they lazy asses and work real jobs

You said early in the thread these jobs weren’t real jobs tho

Cliff notes. I can’t watch the fukkin guy. I was 2 minutes in and he’s having some coke withdrawal. Dude is tweekin out of control.

Again, with the dysfunction and poverty I endured during childhood, I knew the only way out was through education and following a plan for a career in STEM. Built computers and did programming while a teenager, worked shytty service jobs in High School to gain exposure and understand being in the front line of customer service would not be sustainable until I retired....

Hustled throughout college doing internships....career as an Engineer....

Discipline....that is what it takes...studying whenever and however to level up...

Retail should be stepping stone, not a final destination for a career.

@NinoBrown what are the best two year degrees to get in your opinion?

Zizek said that China is successful because Mao Zedong realized the easiest way to be prosperous is mixing free market capitalism with authoritarian control of the government. He says China was ahead of its time because we are starting to see the same in the West with leaders like Donald Trump trying to end democracy.
