Topic	American factories are desperate for workers. It's a $1 trillion problem....

Just recently since Costco, Amazon, and Walmart started paying higher, did everyone else start paying higher. All it took was those 3 places. When a job opens up, literally thousands of people will apply for one position, because everything else is shit. $7.25 an hour, think about that. That's not just a few high school jobs, that's most jobs around here. There are only about 6 factories that you would want to drive to work for. One Walmart, one Costco, one Amazon and the rest is $7.25 or specialists like doctors. So no, $9.00 isn't one of the shit tier jobs actually. You may even need a degree to make $9.00 an hour around here. That's crazy. I mean, some areas it's just rough all around I guess, don't know what to say. I'm not saying you're wrong or trying to be unempathetic, im just trying to dispell this generalization that most factory work is bottom tier pay. The 3 states I've worked in (Alaska, Minnesota, Iowa) all paid decently for manufacturing. --- "You go.
