It's because the cost of everything keeps increasing but pay doesn't, especially housing costs. Why work my ass off if I'm never going to be able to buy a house? The economy can cool down, but it won't matter - if rent is $2000/mo., no one is going to take your $11/hr jobs unless you're very flexible, because people will need multiple such jobs to survive if that's all they can get.
