What a sexist article that fails to mention that women are making $.77 cents for every $1 that a man makes. Even worse to lose a job you were already underpaid to do.
Why should we care about the men when the women are doing worse?
Can't tell if sarcasm, hyperbole, or just misguided.
I'm on your side bro. The reality is that the vast majority of jobs suck and very few are truly winning. Wage gap is a lot more complex than the often quoted figure from white girl feminists. Race and ethnicity play a big perhaps much bigger role in influencing wage gaps. Then beyond that is what socioeconomic status you were born into then your genetics. Judging wage discrepancy by dividing the country into two groups is a massively stupid way to simplify an extremely complex issue. Moreover, compensation is more than just wages. Jobs have benefits and preferable hours and working conditions to account for.
Basically, these people in these jobs are screwed. I'm marginally better off having been a UPS employee for 4.5 years working in a warehouse. It'd be impossible for my job to move overseas, but it is still a terrible low paying job. It does have the benefit of great job security though. Reality is that I need to move on from this place if I want a middle class lifestyle with a wife and kids.
The general point is that the job market has screwed over tons of different workers in tons of different ways, but ultimately we need to stand together in some way to improve these conditions. The reality is that no one will, because differences are perceived to be too strong.
Everyone needs to desperately try to climb themselves out of their own hole, because that is your best chance unfortunately.
