Those people want to "train up" to better jobs. They want that desperately. No one wants to be poor and unskilled. The problem is that they have no savings, and there's no social safety net, and our politicians have become actively mean-spirited because the dumbs equate mean-spiritedness with masculinity. So these people fall into the secondary labor market (jobs that were intended for teenagers and retirees, like in retail) on account of desperation and they can't get out.
Skill obsolescence is not the most common cause of this. Unexpected medical problems can do it, too.
It's not the fault of "Wall Street" alone. It's the fault of a corrupt, failing political system owned by corporate interests.
