And the day care centers would not be run by people on welfare (for that matter there would no longer be a welfare, just a a job for everyone, if you can't find one another way, you can always get a gov job basically). The people in charge, and one for every 30-40 kids, would be professionals that are trained, and make more money because of this. Working at a center also gives you the opportunity to be trained while there, so you too can eventually have one of those higher paying jobs. If you don't fit in, or a person in charge of the center can show you are not doing a good job or should not be around young children, you get moved to a different type of job (like picking up trash in a park etc).

This would also utterly destroy the current daycare market. Sure, it could still exist, but who's going to pay $2000/month for daycare when they could use the government ones for free (or for a fraction of the cost). So now you displace all of those workers who are making a good living, and have them now working at the government owned ones for minimum wage (as they can't all be the "leader" in the building. There's only so many of those positions). Same with the people "picking up trash". Right now that's often a government job that pays $15+ an hour here. Usually taken by students looking for extra coin over the warmer months. That would all disappear.

A lot of positions that otherwise pay decent would disappear in favour of cheaper mandated labour. Right now a lot of these positions pay half decently because they're jobs people don't want to do. Supply and demand regulates that they get paid a decent wage, but mandating the labour will tank the salaries, as "anyone can do it".

Basically, you can say goodbye to any unskilled position. They would all end up being worked by the "unemployed", many of whom would be previous employees making significantly less. Why pay 10 people $18/hr when you can pay 25 people $8/hr?
