For Fast Food jobs, living costs aren't included because you don't need to hire people with living costs. Sure you will if someone applies since they have more expeirnce then the younger kid, but the mintue they get something better they can be replaced within a week. Areas that don't have a sizebale "Leisure" workforce see wages rise quite a bit in the service industry. Again, the likely cause is of people depending on these jobs is probably... minimum wage.
When you look at the countries that have the largest amount of people working in "real" jobs... Germany and Denmark top the list. What do these countries have in common? No minium wage. If there was no minium wage, these jobs would pay less. The only people who could afford these jobs are those who don't rely on it as a primary job. Hence the demand for "real" jobs would increase greatly... forcing things into action. The requirment of minimium wage creates a false belief on what is liveable, and plenty of people become more then willing to work an easy job that pays little, rather then put in the effort to get a better job.
As it is... society, like most countries societies consider these kind of service jobs a career, or at least the first step in one. (by getting promoted into a more valuable position. Though considering how few of those exist compaired to the service jobs...) When you look at the countries that have the largest amount of people working in "real" jobs... Germany and Denmark come to mind.
It should simply be a matter of removing minium wage and At will employment. Countries with both of these conditions seem to work the best and attracting "real" Jobs. (Removal of at will employment while keeping min wage seems to be disasterous for countries like this though.)
Well either that or just ban anyone with a guardian from getting a job. I wouldn't recommend that though. |
Removing the minimum wage would create an environment where employers could hire youths early on to do simple duties and that would act as a societal tool to developed experience and understanding how to conduct one’s self in a work environment. You'd have an entire generation of youths with some experience to be able to go forward and apply that knowledge to positions they otherwise would be overlooked due to inexperience in a working environment.
Employee rights under federal and the majority of state laws are so vaguely defined I don't consider act will employment to even be truly in effect in today’s society.
