2. Great news for job seekers! It’s easy to find a job! Just focus your search on low paid jobs with poor working conditions ideally working with customers during cold/flu season.

3. Breaking News: Low paying jobs are abundantly available because no one wants to work them.

   In Other News: Water is wet.

4. You mean it isn’t hard to find a job that doesn’t pay enough to support myself? Shocking. And those jobs now expect you to do 20% more than they did 5 years ago?

5. Employers don’t want to hire overqualified workers and they pay accordingly. Otherwise, everyone would be making minimum wage

6. Oh boy, low paying jobs without 401k match, no meaningful PTO that accrues immediately, overpriced healthcare plans, shitty schedules that generally include weekends or evenings. Sign me the f up!
