We need better jobs for the poors?
Answer:
Not sure what poors are. we need better jobs for the poor? maybe?? seems like education for the poor is a key to getting a better job (and asking coherent questions in FunQA.com)
No the 'poors' need better education for the jobs
I don't understand this question.
Are you saying that low paying jobs should pay more? I agree, but remember if you pay people more than you can afford, you won't be in business for long.
For example: If Burger King started paying all of its employees $15 per hour, a whopper would soon cost about $20. Nobody is going to pay that much for a whopper, so Burger King would be out of business in no time.
It's not that simple. Education and jobs are a circular argument (you need a job to pay for school but you can't get a job because you can't go to school). The problem runs deeper than that.
You can't simply give the poor a raise because all that does is cause inflation. It keeps them poor but with the appearance of more money. So yes the whopper goes to $10 but suddenly the average income earners are earning $40 an hour versus $20 so the proportional cost of a whopper is the same ($5 vs. $10) at 1/4 of an hour for a whopper. There are a lot of issues in the debate over how to work with the poor but there is no easy or absolute solution.
Jobs are an exchange of value, the value of the persons time to them vs. the value of their skills to the employer. If the employer can determine that your skills are valuable they can hire you but if they can't determine that you have value they can't hire you. Businesses dont' give money away.
You can't just raise taxes because the government doesn't make any money they just spend it so you are robbing Peter to pay Paul.
It's an interesting problem but really a lot of activities are just tied to incentives. The poor see a drug dealer driving in his Lexus and think I could have that. Even though the reality is that only 1 out of 100 drug dealers even get close to that there is a chance. It's the same reason people by lottery tickets... there's a chance. They see the guy working at Burger King, McDonalds etc and he's not driving a Lexus and his life isn't like a video so they blow off eventual reward for the chance to get it all now. Until you can instill delayed gratification into people the poor probably don't have a chance.
I agree. If the free market was really allowed to work the poor would be able to find a job, increase the skill set, and then get better jobs. But since the government mandates so many costs for each worker companies must pay less in direct wages though more in true wages and use less workers by substituting capital for unskilled workers.
