Why do people get offered a job only for them to reject it because pay is laughable? It's not like it's easy to get a job, and millions more Americans wish they were in their position. So if anything they should be grateful they were given an opprotunity to work instead of turning it down and complaining that they can't find work. $7 an hour is better than nothing.
If there in position to refuse it, good for them. Its give and take,supply and demand.
If nobody ever complained about pay or rejected offers then the pay for every job would be minimum wage. A lot of people have low standards and are desperate and this is what brings wages down.
This is the truth right here. If everyone had the gumption to say they won't accept below a certain amount for these jobs, pay would be better. On the other hand prices would be higher.
If you made a higher wage before, and take a lower wage just to get work, it will be hard to get back to the higher wage at future jobs.
As for ads wanting high skills/offering low wage, I just laugh. I know in my field, they'll find someone at that rate, but that employee often inflates their skill set. And that employer often ends up paying someone like me a much, much higher rate later to fix what the cheap rate employee messed up. It's sad, too, because if the employer had just offered a fair rate based on skills, they wouldn't need me 6 months later. Penny wise but dollar foolish.
