In reply to the discussion: "We Want $15 an Hour and Full Time." Who's the Deadbeat? [View all]humbled_opinion
(4,423 posts)41. Terrible Shame is
that many of the newly documented workers will be competing for these same Walmart jobs meaning less jobs for U.S. citizens in economically hard hit areas..... Can't help it I am one of these same people struggling everyday and Obama's EO just rubbed me the wrong way up to 5 million people will now be in competition with the low skilled jobs many of my friends and family have, it just isn't fair and no politician is doing anything to help the jobs situation and the unfair wages in this country.... I agree with what Senator Shumer said yes healthcare was important and helped millions but jobs and wages were even more important and should have been priority number one.
