And I'm not looking to pick a fight with anyone but it is very infuriating when you bust your butt and try and do a good job and you are not paid a halfway decent salary. Been there. Not fun and as far as looking for a higher paid better living wage job, the job market is terrible especially with our current economy.

Again, not looking to point the finger at anyone and it is a little more complicated than that, I just want someone with expertise/knowledge to chime in on this.

I can already see the lines to get deli or check out at Jo-Jos. What can I say? The White People struggle can be real.

No "expert" here but I do believe you have it wrong when you say "the job market is terrible"
The job market is very good right now and employers are having hiring issues because there are too many jobs available for people looking for work.

Agreed. I also think a lack of affordable season housing plays into it.
