Sorry it's probably too abstract for you to understand.

Similar to asking the WalMart Greeter where the printer ink is.

But as long as Danzig says more people are going to college it's all good.

Even though we know over 50% of young African American males in Chicago drop out of high school.

Nah.. It's you Dell all that Private School learning and you have the reading comprehension of a sixth grader. When in doubt obfuscate the issue with a straw man. You counter Danzig fact with a statistic that may be true but has nothing whatsoever to do with disproving her statistic. The only fool you are fooling with this tactic is yourself.

Geez and I thought when Danzig wrote and I quote, "This country is still the number one manufacturer in the world" she meant the U.S.

Or in your mind is Danzig a better source than the world's largest accounting firm?

Wasn't addressing what you are commenting about but don't let that stop you

Jms, your quoting dell defeats the ignore feature.....

Google is useful. One would find stats indicating college now vs decades ago...including the fact that in the early 70s, 11% of americans had degrees. Its now 33% and rising, with 75% of hs grads now going to college.
One would also see that more and more people are now underemployed. But im sure its their own fault....

People with Masters and PHD's are unemployed now too. That's what you get for leaving an H1B program in place to fix a problem 15 years longer than necessary.

This board is way too boring when I let you ignore Dell

I loathe repeating myself to someone with their fingers in their ears yelling lalala. Swift is correct about reasoning with people who dont use reason. So i gave up

Underemployment is a huge issue....there are people with a lot of education who are questioning their decision to go to college, because they cant find a job...or cant find one that pays. So they take what they can get while hunting for better.....thus, they are lazy....right? Where my husband works, less jobs, more automation, same output. Less than half the jobs they once provided..with robots doing more and more work.
Then, as prices have risen, wages have not. Again, google and see the study of a car price in the 60s vs now, and the workers ability to buy that car vs now.

Or....one can just say thats all not so. But it is so

[Danzig]

and, should one ask google what country is the number one manufacturer...why, its the us.

A recent stat showed we were outpacing china by 40%.

But....much like some believe the earth is 6000 years old, one can choose to believe what they wish regarding jobs, college, and the changes regarding buying power, what is making us more productive with less employees, wages and the like.

How about the government distributing the $23.45 billion sales tax it takes in from WalMart sales every year?

Divided between WalMart's 525,000 hourly employees giving them each $44,666 or a $22.20 per hour raise.

[dellinger63]

Then give them back the income tax the corporation pays, $8 billion a year.

Another $15,238 per employee or an additional $7.60 an hour

[dellinger63]

With an additional $12/hour average salary paid by WalMart we now have WalMart employees making $41.80/hour or $86,944/year.
