    At my job unless you have 100% availability with 0 restrictions you cannot acquire more than 20 hours at minimum wage plus change. Not a surviving wage.

    It’s insane to me that employment isn’t given any nuance.

      Because in the past ‘a job’ was enough. It’s not anymore but the boomers and Gen X don’t understand that.

      Congratulations! You are employed, even if you are only working half the normal hours to get a luxurious starvation wage!

      I hope you are proud to be a golden star on this country’s incredible employment statistics! Uncle Sam loves ya for it!
