Nobody Should Have To Live Tip To Tip
-
This fairly depressing slice of life article chronicles the life of minimum-wage workers who are stuck in fast food jobs or depend on tips that aren't enough to really pay for the rent and meals. Some are trying to unionize, and if you're the kind of person who reacts with "well, those jobs aren't meant to be careers," you'll see how for some people, escaping that level is made nearly impossible. And these are the jobs artificially pumping up the employment numbers; these count as jobs even if they don't come close to paying the bills. (Washington Post)
