No Ricky, tons of jobs out there on Indeed and other sites. Help wanted signs everywhere. It's not Canada.
yea what kind of jobs?

ive never heard anyone say that the jobs being created are mostly middle class like in the past. most of the jobs since 2008 have been low paying service sector. thats just where the economy is headed if nothing changes.

and this is just jobs. lets not get into inflation thats not counted like housing, school, etc.

That's exactly what Republicans said during the last presidency. The jobs are all low paying, and the employment numbers are fake....

Now that their party is in power they change their story. Nothing is going to change.

There are plenty of decent jobs for those with experience and training. Want a better life? Get the education necessary to get paid better. You aren't owed a good living, you have to earn it.

the US puts up hurdles to getting educated if you are poor with its most expensive college in the world partly because of defunding by the govt.

theres not enough good jobs for everyone to be middle class which is a travesty by itself. the US is rapidly turning into a low paying service sector economy.

maybe you’ll find yourself a good job one day. Your job pays too little. Who wants to make 50% less? If the US brings itself down to your level, maybe you will be able to compete.

yea i have no idea how much the capitalists are profiting off me per hour. capitalism is shrouded in secrecy bc if the workers ever found out the truth, this system might be finished.

i make $5 less per hour than a local UPS driver. this excludes pensions i cant easily measure that.

holy :censored2:. this guy was named greatest canadian on the cbc show based on votes from viewers. "the seventh Premier of Saskatchewan from 1944 to 1961. His government was the first democratic socialist government in North America, and it introduced the continent's first single-payer, universal health care program."
