    The “labor market” is great for jobs paying <$15/hr. Go to your local gas station, dollar store, or restaurant and you’ll probably see a help wanted sign.

    Over that and youre kinda fucked unless you have a niche role to fill.

      Yeah, talking about jobs being created without any context on the types of jobs being created is meaningless. Great, there are now more part-time jobs paying minimum wage with no benefits and erratic schedules near me, just the sort of job creation I was waiting for so I could regress in my career.
