Let's be real. In the US, the AVERAGE American is not going to do low-wage janitorial, agricultural or domestic work. When the bills are due and you have no other options, facing hard times we'll temporarily take whatever work we can get. In the past, I have too, but all the while l wanted out and to get a better job. I went to college and so did many of you. Those that don't usually have a trade or skill to get them their "ideal" job. Nothing wrong with any of this. It's the American Dream.
My question is, WHO do we REALLY expect to work in the so-called menial, agricultural, domestic positions?
Americans are hard-working people. We want to feed our families, but face it, it's hard to fill these positions and they don't pay a lot. The CEO of a company makes $100,000/yr while the janitor makes $18,000.
We could pay the janitor more, but then there's inflation and downsizing.
Serious answers and ideas, thanks.
