Okay, then ‘they’ pack up and move to a different county or state. Turns out that the country’s biggest private employer, Walmart, or possibly some other retail company, is the only employer with jobs available. So ‘they’ decide to take out a huge student loan and go back to college and get trained in a good paying profession. ‘They’ get a certificate as an electrician. They get their union card and serve an apprenticeship. But there is nearly no work in the area because the people are packing up and leaving for the major metro areas. The prices of real estate are down in the area. ‘They’ still have to work at a part-time retail job. See, Walmart has no full-time jobs, so the only available jobs are “part-time” but Walmart makes their part-time workers work almost 40 hour weeks, so they make only part-time wages and get no benefits. That’s why there are a lot more workers working full-time but still getting welfare/food stamps. Blame Welfare-Mart for that problem.
