Note that I was only pointing out that there is some logic to the lowest paying jobs seeing the most candidates. I certainly do not condone a system where workers do not have access to proper health-care and struggle to live decently. For that matter I think that even unemployed people should have access to health-care and live decently. I will refrain from commenting on how tragic the situation is in the United States for the simple reason that I don't live there. But your description of the situation doesn't make me want to move there except for a very cushy job. Here in Japan unemployment is quite low, and health-care is nationalized, so the situation may not be as dramatic as the one you describe. But contractors at low paying jobs certainly hold the shitty end of the stick: all my friends in this situation live with their parents, they simply cannot afford to live alone.
