- Arainach 4mo agoThere are no guaranteed healthcare benefits in the US. So either the employer or the employee (or both) is on the hook for significant expenses. Apprenticeships are generally low compensation on the understanding that gaining skills is part of the equation. When the apprentice can't afford rent (thanks private equity) or healthcare (thanks....also private equity) or much else, the whole system breaks down.
