First time I came to the US over 25 years ago, one thing I noticed that was really different from western Europe was the amount of artificial jobs: grocery store bag filler, elevator boy, parking place guard, etc. I hadn’t seen these in Europe for years, cause nobody needs them. Having first visited Eastern Europe during communism, the resemblance in this aspect surprised me.

- nicbou 4y agoYou have not seen them in part because of labour costs. Their existence seems to correlate with that.
