capitalism has a natural rate of unemployment.You keep looking from a microeconomic (individual person or company) view.....Yes, a small percentage of low wage workers can find better jobs
But from a macroeconomic (whole country) view, our economy does not have enough "better paying jobs" for low wage workers to move into. Those jobs used to be in manufacturing and construction....but there are not 30 million of those jobs out there
Starting a small business is not a solution for most burger flippers. Even with highly qualified entrepreneurs, most small businesses fail
So your "work harder and find a better job" solution does little to solve the problem of low wage workers needing government assistance
I never said anything about a better job I said that people can work more than 40 hours a week if they have to in order to pay their bills.
Again...another simplistic solution to a serious problem
Do you think there are enough additional hours available for 30 million people?
Do you think 30 million people are actually looking for extra hours?
They are not. You are being simplistic thinking they are.
And why is it you think that they have to work a job for someone else when there countless ways to earn extra money on your own initiative?
These are your "solutions"
Over the past few years job growth has been slightly under 200,000 a month....that is 33 million labor hours a month added to the economy
For 30 million workers getting just one additional hour would be 30 million hours
how many of those 30 million are looking for more hours?
that's a question you seem to be dodging
only the national socialist, right wing, never gets it.
