Remember this is under the Democratics

Economy came to a standstill under Trump..or have you conveniently forgotten that.

But "he needs to make 6 figures" - some random broke dusty hoe

And dudes are still expected to pay 100% of the bills

"I don't believe in 50-50" - random broke hoe who can't cook or clean and smokes a j every night before bed

That's all you negroes took from this

 

[Uchiha God]

 

[feelosofer]

That's an extremely grim outlook.

Couldn't be me and ain't been me since I left the Marines at age 26 and walked in to a 45k a yr job in 2004. Wasn't balling but damn sure wasn't hurting whatsoever...and 20 yrs later shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!!

I was making 13HR in ‘05 after basic training. You couldn’t tell me shyt. Got bumped up to 15hr the following year, I thought I was the King of Corpus Christi.

FED minimum wage should be $17 an hour. If your a small business and can’t afford it…

Robots and AI will be taking over by 2040 if not sooner, we have to guide the next generation to something @Artificial Intelligence cant do, otherwise

UBI will be in discussion real soon. All these corporations will be taxed because they will have low payroll.

Imagine in 2050, Congress finally agrees to UBI and the number they come up with is…
36K a year

Those numbers are sad

 

[Taharqa]

shyt is so fukking sad man. I graduated few years ago and making more than any of the age brackets. From what I hear from my higher ups, its only up for me pertaining to my career. But I also know I can lose it all in a blink of a eye being a black man so I say humble and focused.

To all the brothers out there trying to making it, dont ever take your foot off the gas petal. Keep fukking going

Asian-Men

What is their secret?

It's not rocket science, it's science and technology jobs

And what's worse is that people are fooled into thinking those jobs require some advanced training or degree.

Not at all

 

[Gloxina]

That's all you negroes took from this

And that’s a big part of the issue

 

[RamsayBolton]

and i didnt really feel like working today let me go ahead and earn my paycheck smh

 

[benjamin]

I finally got my raise to $8.50 a hour..MAMA WE MADE IT

 

[Gloxina]

A lot of them are in STEM.

its not enough to just say this...
why dont we take education or economics serious now?

because its not like black folks that attain skills...
have drive...
work hard etc...

...have issues making money

as a culture we spend more time worrying about jail birds and not enough on the folks actually trying to attempt something

It's not rocket science, it's science and technology jobs

And what's worse is that people are fooled into thinking those jobs require some advanced training or degree.

Not at all

All this.



I already said it before, if more of our young men just worked for ups, FedEx, or got into trucking those salary averages would shoot up in less than 1 generation. Young dudes with ups were making great money YEARS AGO. Before the fight for these recent salary increases.


STEM is where it’s at, but if more dudes literally got into the stuff I mentioned above it would literally change the community in 1 generation.

None of those are livable wages. How in the entire fukk are people out here surviving?

 

[B86]

I make more than both my own demographic and the one after us.

40k is roughly 20 an hour iirc not great but also not terrible . College is cool but I would encourage people to look into trades . Good money and always in demand. Don't be fooled by that blue collar stigma
