Understanding The U.S. Economy: Lots Of Rotten Jobs
See above.
Though this article may be trying to push a universal basic income, I am starting to wonder if that isn't the way we are going to go. I am sort of stymied by the poor choices out there for jobs. Even in my workplace we have several jobs available and they are not being filled. Mostly because they are terrible jobs which don't pay well.
Management imho is bound and determined to make them as unattractive as possible.
For instance one of the jobs is like a data entry job. But management has made it clear if you take this job you will be doing data entry every day without any ability to change things up. If they really wanted a good candidate they would find a way for the employee to learn and grow.
I am starting to believe that we need this guaranteed income to destroy the power of the poor management out there today. I feel like the "market" that I studied as a kid did not calculate for corruption. And I find too many managers to be corrupt. Using the workplace as their own personal fiefdom.. rather than a place were good work is rewarded.
I heard a quote recently that said you "hire for personality" and then train employees. That says it right there. Hiring for personality makes it clear that the managers don't have to follow any objective guidelines. And frankly, college didn't have any "personality" classes.
I look at websites and the jobs are just terrible... no one wants them.
