So wrong...

I get what you're saying. You're saying that they're stuck, unless they want to take some sort of risk.

So what? Every decision you make in life carries a risk. Every. Single. One. Do you want the chicken or beef? Hmm... salmonella or e. coli? Every decision. You can't progress in life if you're not willing to voluntarily take a few risks here and there.

If stability of employment is a high priority for you, then you have to be willing to give up the benefits that come with being open to new opportunities. If you want to take advantage of the opportunities, then you have to be willing to give up the stability of working at the same place your whole life. This isn't rocket science, Greg. We're all faced with these sorts of decisions. Those who have done well are generally the type that are more willing to take risks. Those who are financially stagnant their entire life generally aren't. It's all about the choices you make and how you prioritize things. And it's completely fair.

Same reason some men do;their priorities differ. Exit polls showed last election economy was top priority in election cycle. They also showed that republicans gained support from women and Hispanic on that issue. So called social issues didn't play much of a part exit polls showed.

On the lower scale of jobs as in hotel maids and food industry white women are losing those starter jobs.

In that state, full-time or salaried women earn 68.6 percent what men do in median weekly earnings in 2013.
Nationally, women earned 82.1 percent of what men earned, according to BLS. Women earn less than 75 cents on the dollar in another four states: Louisiana, Alaska, Utah and West Virginia. Vermont and D.C. are the only areas where women earn more than 90 cents on the dollar. (In Vermont, they earn 91.3 cents for every dollar men earn. In D.C., they earn 90.8 cents.) The median, or middle value, is often used instead of an average in order to minimize the impact of outliers — small groups of very high or very low values.
