early boomer-'46. 1st job '62 summer doing Ag labor. the expectation of all parents in my world at that time is that you WOULD get a job during summer vacation. they were always low end jobs min wage. that was $1/hr back then. was $1.25 next summer. i worked with 5 "grown ups". 3 black guys in their mid 20s,1 black guy maybe mid 50s and 1 old white guy looked mid 60s. anyone > 30 was "old" to a 16 yo. don't tell me americans won't or can't do very low level jobs,they will. all this wetback labor need is BS. end socialist interference in the economy and they won't be needed.
yes,inflation has destroyed any hope of a decent life for many. $10-15/hr min wage would be necessary for living on a entry level job if our false gov generated inflation were eliminated. my first job as an RN was about $5/hr. my rent was $125/mo. now they start at $30ish and rents are $1500+. WTF? most of us can see how that happened and thanks go to our left wing corrupt politicians.
