Thanks for the link. However, I didn't really infer that there were no jobs for these people - indeed, I inferred they were working, some of them multiple jobs. What I am inferring is that the jobs available are often not well-paying enough to make ends meet. Part of this will hopefully change because as you have shown, The market is currently in a place where employees have many options for employment and can argue for better wages. But part of it is that there are many, many part time / minimum wage jobs. Minimum wage can't really pay the bills in many states, so anyone working that job either needs to be supported in some other way (perhaps sharing an apartment, living with parents), or needs to work more than one job. So I dont think that people need to create jobs, I think that there need to be jobs that are capable of paying the bills on their own without other income.
