> There is a persistent structural imbalance in the U.S. workforce: too few people for all the jobs Lies. If the minimum wage increased proportional to inflation, none of these "jobs" would exist. The McDonalds sign-on bonus is nothing but a loan, just like all sign-on bonuses with a retention requirement. Such arrangements merely require that minimum wage is low enough to partition that compensation out of the base wage, a modern American financial industry to efficiently enforce the contracts, and a society with no remaining semblance of dignity in sight.
