Wooooooooow
Answer: automation.
Due to how horrendous unemployment is, along with how awful the job hunting process is without connections, I've seriously started to consider drug dealing to make my income. I'd grow and sell shrooms and marijuana. If I go to jail, fuck it, when I get out I'll keep doing it. I'll get to wake up whenever I want, laze around all day, and make more money than a wageslave.
Wrong.
Answer: Mexicans.
This is nothing new. In my home state alot of shitty jobs are having a labor shortage because a bunch of old fucks are retiring all at once and no ones willing to replace them.
Most of the more unskilled positions will just be filled up by illegal immigrants.
Sorry if most American citizens dont think its worth working for a shitty resturaunt or fish farm for minimum wage and no benefits anymore.
>automation
oh yeah thatll be cheap, automate kitchen workers LOL
Currently mexicans are alot cheaper than robots because they are desperate and dumb enough to work for pennies
Hah rather stay in the shitty factory job that literally gives me cancer than work in a fucking kitchen and get like 2$/hour
Everyone keeps saying that immigrants are taking all the jobs but we keep seeing labor shortages in areas where American dont want to work. Farm work, custodial and kitchen jobs are all a available all the time yet americans refuse to take the jobs. Look up alabama hb 56. They employed the strictest anti immigration policy in the country, all the Latin American work we left and several industries just collapsed.
They refuse to take those jobs because they pay extremely low and demand tons of labor and they treat you like shit. Its a complete waste of fucking time.
Only complete morons or felons with no other options take on that kind of work.
If we didn't have illegal immigrants the people offering these positions would be forced to either pay up more money or just do without those positions. That's called bargaining power.
>You should be proud to work for 5$ an hr and do dangerous back breaking labor!!
>pull urself up by the bootstrap and git er dun!!!
Yeah but theyll just automate everything if workers retaliate. If Immigration laws get stricter nationwide those jobs will either dissappear(good riddance), become automated or be forced to pay a higher wage to americans and provide benefits like a real fucking job.
50+ hours a week stuck in a kitchen doing bitch work for $9/hr, zero room to move up, zero benefits.
If it were the 60s and minimum wage were kinda worth a shit maybe people would but they're so reluctant to update it that it's utterly worthless.
Man that bargaining power sure worked in alabama, sure is working in all those kitchen across the country. Unless youre willing to explore the idea of a higher minimum wage and more buisness regulation then illegal immigration is going to continue to replace these jobs.
The alternative is to either impose stricter immigration or get ready for mass unemployment and rioting. This is the bed they made and they havent realized how fucked its going to be if they keep going this route
>implying people arwnt taking thwse jobs because they're holding out for higher paying ones
is a prime example as to why this isnt gonna work. No one is going to take the jobs once the immigrants are gone unless the wage is higher. Even then there are industries that need lower paying jobs like farming that has incredibly low profit margins. How will kicking out all the immigrants fix that? They make up 30% of the industry you cant just kick them all out, theres already a real world experiment the proves that it all falls apart.
Place near me pays twice the minimum wage for a dishwasher. It's almost tempting, but the last time I tried that line of work I was constantly throwing up.
Youre a dumbass
Alabama is already a poor state. The HB 56 incident isnt a efficient test of anything. All it means is that Al refused to adjust to the shift in the work force
Workers arent taking them because if the reasons already stated. Theyre shitty jobs that work you ragged and dont even give you basic dental coverage. No one except a dumb illegal would accept a raw deal like that
Trust me I worked in Chipotle for 4 months. It was the most humiliating degrading job I've had. Being screamed at by kids younger than you, by customers. No benefits, working unpaid off the clock. Treated like a stain. I lied and said I got sick from the food and was fried. Due to that I got unemployment and I'm currently suing that store. Never ever ever work in restraunts.
I'd do the jobs, I just don't fucking want to work with spics.
Youre saying that if all the illegal were kicked out of a rich state, say California or Texas, agriculture wouldn't collapse? What the solution then? How do we get food to american tables with illegal immigrants? So far we dont have a machine that can pick grapes or strawberries.
In the US almost every dishwashing position is held by a 50 year old hispanic immigrant that does not speak english. Its usually around $8 - $10/hr no benefits. This was once a job for high school kids that could get a little working experience and make some beer money for friday nights, now its held up by illegals. There was a time when waiters/waitresses and bus boys were all around 17 - 23, now its grown ass adults 30, 35 even 40 doing it for "a living".
WASH MY DISHES WAGEY
NO MORE NEETBUX FOR YOU
I don't even see how illegals can afford to take these shotty jobs. I know they try to send a lot of money home, but etween than and having a roof over your head and enough food for their 5 children I don't know how they do it. I'd rather have an OK job in Mexico than work for $3 hr in the fields here
they live in shitty slums
if you don't have to pay rent or mortgage, minimum wage is alright
They harsh lives where they live frugally, communally work 14-18 hours a day 7 days a week. Btw mexican immigration is falling because Mexico becomes a better place to live every year. It's generally from the war torn central america now a days (wars that were bankrolled and supplied by the US and CIA).
They live with 10 other mexican roommates, sleep on the floor at night. And you have it backwards, here in the US a field worker will be making about $9 - $10/hr. They also have a lot of fraud going on in their communities.
They live in like 8 person households who all bring in minimum wage and eat cheap garbage food. Many also get false puerto rican IDs so they can apply for benefits and the like.
They also will pool their money together to buy a car and split it 5 ways. They all operate as a unit. They take turns cooking dinner, they they rotate who gets to sleep on the coach and who has to sleep on the floor etc.
Not true, as a person whose done a lot of restaurant job hunting the ones that are listed tend to be for rather upscale places for people who intend to be prep cooks. Other than that they're unlisted and worked by an immigrant getting 5 dollars an hour(before taxes, immigrants usually have a fake social security and pay taxes because of it)
Rican IDs can be had for just a 100 bucks or so. Because of how the system works they're considered US citizens stateside and its hard to positively identify a Rican ID. Thus these people who can't speak a lick of English and have non-Rican names have the full rights of a citizen.
Trump and ICE is doing a good job in keeping the illegals out.
>With low profit margins leaving little room to do what most businesses do in tight labor markets-increase wages
>oy vey! we only have a 200% profit margin on our ingredients while paying our overworked employees below minimum, we're going bankrupt!
Haha this is true as fuck though.
Texas?
Yes
California is fucking bankrupt. Its like a mini brazil
>dangerous back breaking labour
>washing dishes
look at this fucking retard and laugh
i worked at a grocery store for nearly 2 years and it fucking sucked. i worked for minimum wage the entire time, and was expected to work in temperatures way below freezing for hours on end collecting carts. sometimes it was icy out and you could easily slip and break your neck, or get hit by a car and killed. on top of that when you bag you get to watch the cashiers get yelled at by the customers and are expected to be fast or else it will happen to you. And on top of everything, there is no fucking resting. you do it constantly for the entire work day until your short break, then go home after several more hours of doing it. its fucking torture
It's not that they're dumb, it's that those pennies are way more than what they would earn in a week working in Mexico. $5 dollars is what they would make A DAY if they did the same job.
t. Mexican
My college buddy wagecucked happily part-time at a dollar store for a few years until management changed and it was taken over by some Indian lady. Lo and behold, he starts getting asked for ridiculous hours (including times everyone knew he had class), gets asked to clean the washroom more often, has to autistically re-organize everything, and less than two months later gets fired for some bullshit reason and there's two new pajeets working there who barely speak english, either relatives or friends of the new Indian lady no doubt. It was basically a hostile takeover. He didn't care too much since it was a bullshit part-time job while studying, but imagine being dependent on that income and losing that position in a recession.
>Conservatives always complain how they are unemployed because illegal immigrants are taking all of the good jobs.
>Illegals are being deported and less are crossing into America.
>Conservatives are too good to take entry-level jobs, preferring to be unemployed and complain about how the world is shitting on them, rather than lowering their standards and get paid to flip burgers or clean bathrooms.
What did the Alt Right mean by this?
Isn't this a good thing? Don't you all want the jobs that the Mexicans are stealing from you?
Oh, wait, no, you all want high-paying jobs that most of you aren't even qualified for, or you want to live off of NEETbux for the rest of your life, even though it's wrong when brown people do it.
Ok I dont mimd these guys escapimg their shithole country for a.better life.
I dont mind them doing these shit jobs.
But these fucking assholes make more than I do a week in 3 fucking days under the table completely tax free is where I draw the line.
Lol I'm from Texas and i know a ton do industries that are pretty ducked and that includes ranching, meat packing and agriculture. Not to mention land scaping fishing, construction and yes the entire food industry. They arw incredibly important to the texas economy and thats why we dont have laws like arizona.
