> You're not supposed to earn a living wage doing zero skilled work.
If you are not "supposed" to earn a living wage, then the job should not exist. It's a simple matter of supply and demand: if you can't afford to pay your laborers a living wage, you have obviously failed as a company because you are unable to exist without slave labor.
> This misses the reason so-called McJobs don't pay a "living" wage.
Yes, this reason is called "profit". They pay so little because it is legal to do so, and people would rather work three jobs than see their kids starve.
> You're supposed to develop skills and move up in the working world.
If everyone moves up, who is going to do those jobs? And how exactly are you supposed to develop those skills if you have to work three jobs just to survive? There are only so many hours in a day, you know.
