all these jobs at modern slave wage. With taxes paid to the con and grifter family in D.C. and what every state takes, a person getting one of these jobs after, ideally, 30 hours max a week in work end up with 145 a week. Times 4, 580.00 a month x12 7000.00 a year. This pushing of job numbers is pushing the current administration and exceedingly misleading. I wish people would tell it like it is, not some idealized BULLSHIT coming out of the swamp that trump has made. Just stop it. People getting one of these jobs are probably working closer to 80 hrs a week, at two low paying jobs, which will be 14000 a year, just to pay mortgage/rent, lights, food, gasoline and that's just for a single person. I pay 11,000 in rent a year. Anyone can do the rest of the math. Add the real prices for these necessities and more hiding the reality of surviving economically in amerika as has always been the case with these jobs.
Sad to see this BS on a site like this without proper 'real world' consequence explained of our economy on people who have to work these jobs, the permanent underclass, making billionaires huge profits with them barely surviving in this hyperinflated economic environment these days.
The high tech and professional ranks can accept just so many. They are college educated. The rest are a permanent underclass forever working at slave wage if not able to get into college because of the realities of living in a racist, prejudiced, sexist and hateful society.
I am not fooled by these BULLSHIT numbers and optimism of an OP plant such as this..
