that's most likely because the people who work those jobs are usually struggling to make ends meet and desperately need every penny they can get. if their needs were met, i'm certain that would change.
- KenArrari 2y agoWell that amount of money is what Europeans are living on (even with typically higher costs of living), so it's still not a tradeoff people would make.
- yungporko 2y agothat statement is absolute gibberish. "what europeans are living on" and their cost of living varies massively by country or even by town/city.
- PopAlongKid 2y ago>the people who work those jobs are usually struggling to make ends meet You are omitting the large swath of government and civil-service type employees - cops, firefighters, transit workers, utility field workers - whose base salary alone avoids "struggling to make ends meet", but they still want that overtime because time and a half or doubletime at their income level is quite lucrative, plus it helps to spike their eventual pension amount (although lawmakers are slowly wising up to that and cutting off the opportunities for new hires, although they can't change the deals the current workers already negotiated).
