Why are 88% of millennials working low wage jobs?

quality work = quality pay

They are lazy.

They're checking out of the ratrace

>56% are women

Mystery solved.

This girl is cute as fuck.

They learn philosophy and bisexuality in uni
Then work In a cafe

Because Boomers refuse to leave the workforce. Oh, and because younger people generally work lower paying jobs.

because boomerfags sent all the jobs to Chyna.

/thread

Because mother fuckers can't keep a job more than 6 months. Not making enough money? Spend less, get a second job, get some damn skills. Don't fucking beg for it.

>56% are women
>in a country where 52.5% of the population is female
>bringing up a 3.5% gender discrepancy
y tho

As a socialist This is great news. Once qe have a horde of poor people we can tax the fuck out of the rich and give ourselves free housing, good and health care and a UBI. Feels good to see the future is socialism

b-because... dumby...

you don't get it, you don't like hard work you aren't happy with the beanbag chair we got at the flea market for the break room, whats the matter with you?
>expects young workers to pay for retirement without any prospect of their own
y-you think i have it easy? we changed the worrrrld: vietnam? remember that we ended it, not some old white dudes like you would expect? and cellphones and and twitter we invented that, not the generation before us when they were pushing 70 because we kept demanding more treats from them. it isn't fair, life isn't fair I dont care your generation and all the world is going to die in less than 40 years, its not my problem dear. time to buck up and deal with it.

for real though, never met a greatest generation member who had anything nice to say about those entitled shit smears, or their brain damaged demon span the "Gen Xers" (you know they're cool cuz there's and X... like SEXXX or eXtreme) and they seemed to all warn me that the fix was in and my generation was fucked and would have to endure greater hardship and brutality than even them.

and to be fair, some if not most boomers are fine people, undoubtedly with quirks, im sure its not the case if you come from other regions or localities.

Feels good to be in the 12%, fuck lazy millennials

Because boomers refuse to retire. Fuck off with your concern trolling.

>Earn half of the family income

So.. what you're saying here is that.. when we encouraged women to work.. we split the pay between men and women.. but made them both work the same hours for (((us)))?

They're lazy, entitled, parasites. They'll be in for a shock when it's time to retire and they have nothing! LOL, fucking loser pussies.

Because they are fucking students. Students work low paying jobs.

Community College is $10k a year in my state and I'm in my 30s without a GED. There are no jobs anyways if going by the types of threads I see on 4cha. From time to time

Fuck off you little lazy piece of shit, get a fucking job and dont blame others.

Right, instead of being forever students of complete bullshit that wont amount to anything useful, they should go find a real fucking job instead of sitting behind a counter or sorting crates in a warehouse.

Gotta love how the government covers for their own shity leadership. Oh, we fucked up the country? We better import more desperate poor immigrants who will pop out 3 kids without thinking to keep the quasi slave trade going.

The government is in for a rude awakening because they are FUCKED once the boomers die. These old TV watching fucks are the last group of blind government supporting shit heads. Let's see these cop mother fuckers roll into a suburb where 90 percent of the residents hate the police.

Not sure really, I just finished my internship that paid just under £1,000 /month inc tax and rent (water/elec inc) they provided it so automatically deducted it from salary.

Now I go back to studying another 3 years and get my Honors in hotel management.

>yfw when the boomers finally decide to retire the economy will probably go tits up and they will be pushing their retirement funds around in a wheelbarrow

Y'all are all stupid mother fuckers who haven't the slightest fucking clue how the world works. You blame a generation of people who are the exact same species of another generation, in other words, a human behaves like a human. Blaming a generation is a way to deflect from your own fuck ups as a human. I blame no one for anything, that is a choice I made myself, and because of that I don't deceive myself, and actually get to observe what's really going on.

The fact of the matter is that women need to get the fuck out of the labor force. Wage stagnation isn't a giant fucking mystery, and while globalization has contributed to our general decadence, the doubling of the labor supply played a pretty God damn huge role.

Women are miserable working, they can't find husbands because they now compete with men and refuse to date down or even across most the time. A few lucky guys are railing women like every day is trans siberian crossing day and leaving women unhappy and unfulfilled when they invariably can't find a guy to settle with and men low on the totem pole are becoming maddeningly desperate and despairing (luckily they're placating themselves with porn and video games, or unlucky depending on your view). Now wages are depressed and whores pop out kids from guys who've no incentive to be there, nor do the women want them there because when they fucked Chad they didn't select for good fatherhood traits, they just wanted to get fucked.

Women's rights were a mistake through and through, now we are paying for it through a depressed economy and social strife

>offshoring
>h1b
>us in depression since 2007
Gee, they must be lazy.

oldies haven't vacated the work force also US takes in many many times more foreign workers than before

Well its because they
>Constantly vote for the destruction of decent paying jobs
>vote for the flooding of the job market with people who work for much cheaper and are infinitely more disposable, booting them out of the market.
>Demand that everything they want such as school/housing be "free" paid for by the government (which they dont realize is paid for by the taxers they have to pay)
>Constantly stop American infrastructure from growing by virtue signaling ad nauseum.
>Force other companies away from the US by disincentivising patronship.
>Demands financial anal rape via obamacare that fucks over small buisness owners and entrepreneurs preventing upstarts from expanding and thus playing a role in the economy.
>Keep pushing for a culture of degeneracy that keeps minority crime rates through the fucking roof thus obliterating previously thriving municipalities.
>Keep advocating for the destruction of "the community" allowing for communities themselves to collapse

and then they have the balls to wonder why the cost of life is so damn expensive.

that's a good point of advice for some ignorant little shit who is upset with things but hasn't the slightest clue why or how. with enough interest and knowledge you learn who to blame really. but blame is a one size fits all and the culprits are formless shapeshifters. generally born after WW II

Bullshit Japan has the same problem. We need a mass culling of oldfags

Truth

because a lot of us are fucking retarded and think getting a useless degree means anything.
I'm currently working a $10/hr job, getting around 50 hours a week, and doing college so that when I get out of that by the end of this year I'll be able to go straight into a career that actually needs more people in it and pays much better.

Because the West has been hijacked by Middle eastern psychopaths who want to destroy white people.

Uh...it's the boomers who voted for all that shit.

what sort of degree allows you to work 50 hrs a week? not a STEM degree for sure

28, working as an accountant for a big company, a baby boomer came in and I was instructed to train them in accounting despite him having almost no experience in it and his degree being in business management, a position opened up I was well qualified for but the old fuck got it and then I was let go four months afterwards by the same fuck I trained in his 60's

soe penski

why dont you shut the fuck up?

and instead of changing it? they demand more and more extreme versions of the previous policies. Compliance to insanity makes you equally as guilty.

for instance pic related. do you think the boomers do shit like this when children are ruthlessly mowed down by explosives or trucks of peace? at least when 911 happened the boomers were mad.These people are tearing apart society with their selective tolerance

>tfw can't even get a low wage job

should I start selling drugs

To be fair, it doesnt matter which of the main parties people voted for over the last 30 years. Destruction of workers rights and immigration has been the only economic policy available.

Also, everyone wants "free" stuff from the government. It's why people agree to pay taxes.

found the newfags

this is a good summary but will never happen unless there's a global happening or smth. marriage and kids do make women happier (when the marriage is more or less ok) than a shitty "career" but ultimately marriage is too much of a lottery. gibs and affirmative action from the state is a stable gurantee though. the state will still be there when the women loses her looks or when she or her husband get sick etc. unconditional stability is always more appealing that conditional happiness. if a woman loses her job, she can still find another one. if she loses her husband and she's 40, not so much.

Feels fucking amazing that I'm part of the 12% to be honest. I love knowing that these condescending, tattooed labour voting cunts are the ones who will spend the rest of their youth living in shitty shared accommodation, serving me coffees and then getting burnt out at 40 and sweep the streets until retirement.
If shit hits the fan in the UK I can easily relocate since I have the resources to do so.

>tfw literally have more USD in my wallet than most millenails would earn in a month.

This, these retards vote for them to be poors and the immigrants to be rich, they will cry like a bitch once they realize what a shitty life awaits for them

>graduate high school
>LOL gimme $250k+/year kthxbye

Because labor got cheaper due to competition from Asia.

/thread

>"girl"

>56% are women
>Earn half of household income

Lesbians btfo?

>Earn more in an hour smacking around on my keyboard than an average Millennial earns in a day sweating behind a till at their hip and trendy cafe

Two PhD professors gave a three hour lecture on contract law and how it effects macro economics. Two young women sat in front of me whispering. Toward the end of the lecture one girl says to the other, "They only say it works that way because they are probably Republicans..." They both giggled.
That is when I realized that these same two women would finish their business degrees and go on to be CEOs of major American corporations.
Too many spoiled brats who want to force feminism, socialism, diversity, multiculturalism into the work place and then everyone wonders why we have such low wages and corporate stagnation.

I

delet

But also, raising the minimum wage means that businesses have to spend more. This can put a pressure ESPECIALLY on small businesses.

The minimum wage is marxist bollocks. Commies GET THE FUCK OUT.

Well I'm an aircraft engineer so travel on business.
But how shit must millennials feel knowing a Brit has more of their national currency than themselves.

>work as security guard

>get offered promotion to supervisor every three months or so

>pay increase is about 20% while workload and responsibility is increased by 200%

>manager's face when he gets told it's not a good deal for me


If I needed money so bad I could just sell drugs or something else with reasonable effort/reward ratio

COLLEGE LOANS.

>strong independent 35 year old womyn earning minimum wage (LOL)

>she now earns 0% of the household income because she's fired when min wage increases

fucking patriarchy

>Work shit job for 1 year
>Go from shit-pay to shit-pay + 50 cents
>Responsibilities in the workplace have increased 10-fold though

That's a fair point. I think you're smart to keep steady employment. I honestly think that's a big problem when potential, higher wage employers look at the younger generation's resume and see that they don't tend to hold the same job for two or three consecutive years. That matters much more to employers than most younger people think (it was the same when I was young).

"Sorry, potential employer, I can't take the high-paying job you've offered me because I have student loans to pay." - said no one ever.

Millennials don't want to work 40 hours a week and they can't pass piss tests. That's all this comes down to.

You again?

>work shit job for 1 year
>in your free time, develop a skill, get an education, do literally anything to better yourself and improve the value you can provide an employer instead of getting drunk and doing drugs and partying and watching TV and playing video games 24/7
>get a better job

Because boomers are evil cunts who hire skilled foreigners instead of providing training to their own compatriots like literally every other generation in human history did

Do you want them to job-hop or to stay longer than 6 months?

>mfw I just turned 31
>work a decent job with decent pay
>ground myself into a field where everyone quit and dropped like flies
>job eventually got easier
>now top seniority and pay
>persevered at a crap job at $10 an hour and now get $25 an hour
>save 20k a year
>have many ounces of 99.99% fine gold as well as cash money.
>hear faggots cry about how hard work is and they deserve 100k a year for knowing how to underwater basket weave.
>play video games and read yuri manga all day.
>count my money while rolling in yuri feels
Pic very fucking related

Because our economy is more corrupt than ever.

It's just a bunch of rich sociopaths and jews gaming the system and exploiting everyone else. It's not designed to promote merit, just maximize profits.

Also, neo-liberal scumbags out-sourced everything to China to cut costs which is really biting us in the ass at the moment in more ways than one.

inb4 a fat, narcissistic boomer calls millenials entitled when they were given everything on a platter and had sky-high waged compared to their standard of living.

Nobody will hire them, because they don't trust them.

>That flag.

Get out and stop preaching your useful idiot ideology.

Bingo. Have a millennial girlfriend and she thinks she put in a long day when she pulls 30 hours a week

WTF are u on about m8?

Burger here and I have a fuck ton of money. I saw your little tower burning in little Somalia. You won't fool anyone on Sup Forums we know you live in a third world country

Difference is that I know it isn't the right time for the ideology because the world is full of too much Jewry and gibsmedat.

Oh look...spot on gold is 1253, think I should buy gold eagles or just stick to bullion?

My 401k just hit the 70k mark. So pumped

I have an engineering degree and I just finished a apprenticeship in carpentry (worked 1 year as a junior in a company before).

I just don't want responsibilities, I don't give a shit about money, the more money I earn, the more taxes I pay for arabs anyway. My country is going to shit, and the whole western world with it it seems, so I decided I'd live a quiet and peaceful life of manual labor in the countryside.

The thing is in France I'm not the only one in that case, it's sort of a trend, people with good grades just bail out of the job market their degree is in and start farming, doing manual labor and all.

>improve the value you can add to your employer
>your
>employer
kek, speak for yourself wagecuck. I'm working on my electrician apprenticeship so I can be my own boss. Have fun being someone else's bitch.

Why should I scramble like all my peers to start a career in the city to make a load of money just to still be a miserable cunt?
They're all fucking miserable. They all make far more than the average and they're all still sour bastards living in a depressing shit hole.

Why the fuck should I be eager to stuff myself into a place filled to the brim with vermin, sell my life for the chance to earn a few more shekels just to have almost half of it taxed to be distributed to the lazy and stupid and to services that I will never use?

Fuck that noise. I want a comfy house in a comfy place with a comfy job with flexible hours so I can actually enjoy my time on this earth. Couldn't give a fuck about being wealthy.

That sounds lovely and is probably the sort of thing I'm going to do when I finish my degree.
Makes more sense to learn valuable trade skills and build a life for myself than slave under someone else's thumb to make them rich.

Plus when white people are finally driven out of the 1st world and into our own little enclaves I'll be able to make myself useful.

When I do carpentry, I feel good. I can see the result of my work and appreciate it, I can work alone and be peaceful. I can even work under the table too and not pay taxes if I want, a lot of people look for crafstmen to do manual labor in their home.
Life is good, better than in my stupid cubicle with retards.
