You are ASSUMING people would work for below minium wage. That isn't necessarily a valid assumption.
People should be willing to work for whatever seems fair. I think minimum wage in some states is entirely too generous considering the low level of difficulty the work is.
It might even behoove people who have been unemployed for ages to go and VOLUNTEER at a company somewhere doing something they like that is useful with an eye toward proving to the employer they are valuable to the company and worth being paid.
People are always talking about how Obama must instantly reverse this tremendous housing bust and the fallout, or he is an abject failure.
Ok, what would the Tea Party do to get our motor humming along? More tax cuts, axing "fake, parasitic" federal and state jobs? Cutting public worker wages? Shrink the government by 80% Which one of those is going to reboot the economy, and how long will it take?
The Tea Party would attempt to lower unemployment by setting up Palin souvenir shops and racist sign factories in a town near you....that's really all they've got.

You do not have a clue what the TEA Party is!
The Tea Party does not have the ability to create jobs. They are a volunteer organization.
What the TEA Party can do, is call and write, their congressmen and women, along with the President and let them know why the jobs are leaving this nation.
We have to call & write to get it through their lame brains that the globalization of the world economy, has to drain the USA completely to work and they are well on the way. Let them know we have to be selfish and self sufficient to succeed as a nation.

So why didn't the Tea Party do all of this calling and writing when the Republicans were standing behind (and giving tax breaks to) the all of major US corporations who were shipping/outsourcing US jobs to Mexico, China, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka et al for quick, short term profits over the past decade and a half? Why is it only since the election of President Obama that the Tea Party decides to mobilize? Why doesn't the Tea Party protest against Congress? Why are the TPers strictly anti-Democrat (ie anti-liberal) even when many of the issues they state that they are against fall on the steps of both (R) and (D)s?
Where was the Tea Party protesting and name calling during the 8 yearlong disaster known as the GWB administration? Why didn't the Tea Party protest against the needless Iraq war and all of the US debt that was incurred as a result? Why is GWB still viewed by many of the TP ilk as superior to President Obama when GWB (self-admittedly) was the catalyst for the recession? Why doesn't the Tea Party just come clean and admit that they are a ill-formed group of people who were scared after the 2008 presidential elections and joined forces in their mutual "fear" of a Black (bi-racial) man in the White House. Just come clean about it.
The term Tea Party is just a catch all phrase used to describe anyone who is on the opposing team. The same thing goes for Progressives, that term is used to describe the opposing team.
So what, the Tea Party should sit back and watch the US overtax companies who hire Americans to work in America, and regulate hundreds of thousands of jobs out of existence? The focus should be on stopping the destruction of jobs by foolish government policies, not worrying about what new programs might be put in place. We got to 100 million jobs primarily without some horsepucky Washington idea of what would be a good way to spray money around at random.

In case you didn't notice, they got voted into obscurity.

Wow! I haven't heard that concept expressed in years. But, yes that is what many good people use to do. This country has strayed so far...
I know they know this, but what are they going to do? Cutting taxes in the rich ain't working. What is plan B?
Cutting taxes for the rich has never worked. Same ole Reagan "Trickle Down Economics" B-S that's never been proven.
