If they’re underpaid, why do they take the job?
You are assuming they have the luxury of getting a higher paying job. This requires two things
- Higher paying jobs exist and are available to them
- They can afford to not work until they land one of these jobs.
The first only works if there is a strong economy and employers are not cooperating to set a low “market price” which they have a strong incentive to do
The second only works if there is again a strong economy allowing for savings AND a strong social safety net / welfare system giving the freedom to not make a desperate choice of employment
Im gonna be real with you if this stuff had not occurred to you before now you should just stop having opinions on things.
Why do the poor not just make more money are they stupid?
So you don’t have an answer, just snark. Even in the US, companies pay different rates based on the local cost of living. Where are your posts crying about that?
You are dumb. Why would someone choose to work 3 jobs instead of one well paying Job? You are ignoring basic economics and basic survival
More snark, still no answers. Got it. I mean it’s okay to rage against the machine. But at some point you should try to learn how to actually defend your stance.
Or you should do the tiniest bit of thought on why people may not have the choice in “just getting a better job” or even the smallest bit of research will find you a plethora of answers to your question.
Because underpaid is better than starving to death
But being underpaid means they can get more money somewhere else. Why don’t they just go to the place that pays better?
Have you heard of capitalism?
