To make it worse, a recent study showed that shift work actually decreases intelligence, which I would interpret as probably a result of exhaustion. Shift workers are literally too tired to climb the social ladder (not to mention all the financial issues from the article). We should pass laws requiring more consistency in workers' schedules as well as increasing the minimum wage dramatically.

Unpredictable schedules are also p problematic because they translate to unpredictable earnings, making it impossible to plan your expenditures well.
