For Too Many, the Job Market Isn't Working

[Mass]

2. Main problem is low wages.

In the area where I live, many people would benefit from a minimum wage at $15/hr. Supervisors in the large company my husband works for are paid $15/hr, which means everybody who work for them works for less, for example.

In addition, around us, we see older people fired and replaced by young people hired at low wages. This leads to a huge number of foreclosures for people who have bought a house and got fired, while others have a hard time qualifying for a loan in an area where houses are expensive.
