No there isn't. How do I know? I've actually HAD those jobs part-time as a high school student. So have my kids.

Plus they get fired and hired as often as the win blows, hence the golden parachutes. You couldn’t pay me enough for all the stress they have to deal with in trying to manage a company and being the first one fired when things go south. CEOs always get the blame, always.

No wonder CEO’s fought so hard against the pay disclosure portion of Dodd-Frank.

Yeah it's absurd what those guys make. The Demonic Rats would do better if they focused on things like this instead of the Stormy porn network but I know they're too butthurt to do it so I don't mind letting them know.

Which is why many places are now implementing self-scanning check out systems for customers.

Low-Skill jobs are easy to replace via a new worker or automation.

This is why I wonder if we are smart to have our immigration system as is take in so many low skill people. It worked well when there was a surplus of factory jobs, but now we have potential automation to the point that some liberals are saying we must implement universal basic income soon for the masses of low skill people about to be laid off.

Canada tends to take in higher skill immigrants that outperform their national average, we do the opposite.
