SF is doing just fine with regards to waitresses, cooks, cleaning staff, janitors, bus drivers, etc. Have you heard anything otherwise? Of course, many of these people do not choose to live in SF, or cannot afford to live in SF ,so they end up having long commutes. This does not seem to keep them from taking jobs in SF. If enough of them decide it is not worth it to commute, their employers will entice them to do so with higher wages. You know, the free market and all...
- encoderer 13y agoYou know many lower income people who are commuting long distances into the city? Really? Sure, many come from Oakland. Which was the point of the article. And when I was still in school and knew a lot of people in these types of jobs, many worked two (or more, if part time). And still couldn't really make rent. This is why I never tip below 20% unless the server didn't do their job very well. It's expensive to live here and they have a tough situation. Also, Bus Drivers don't belong on that list. They are certainly paid more than wait staff, etc.
