What kept them from increasing their skill sets so they could command a higher wage?

I wished the journalists asked those questions to the people they interviewed.
One girl has been at McDonalds 10 years..started at 16 and had one kid along the way..still at min wage.
Another guy working there 16 years and still at min wage saying it was deplorable that he wasn't making more.
I'd love to read the backgrounds of these people. Are they literate ? Did they graduate HS ? Are they disabled ?
And of the 1/3 that are actually making minimum wage, which most are about a dollar more an hour over, how many have criminal records, extremely poor work history, drug issues, etc?
You tell me. Who keeps numbers on that type of thing? Seems to me that thought may just be your very negatively biased opinion. Do YOU have any statistics to support your belief? You do realize that job applications can and do ask applicants if they have ever been convicted of any crimes, etc., don't you?
Since when does a fake "social movement" by people with laughable views and sillier demands get achieved EVER?
Exactly what is "fake" about this social movement? Obviously you are not knowledgeable or informed regarding history nor what is going on in your country at this point. Comments such as "people with laughable views and sillier demands" is absolutely the height of arrogance by those who appear to be very selfish and only self-concerned, also those with no imagination or vision regarding the future.
Btw, is your post what is considered flamming?

Did the person claiming McD's only pays 3% of food costs in wages ever come back or did they just run away after we pointed out that each cashier would have to serve a person every 20 seconds the store was in operation for that to hold true?
To be fair the transition to a service based economy has caused this mess. Alot of these minimum wagers would have been working unionized manufacturing jobs some time ago.

WHERE are the "higher wage" jobs for all those who do have the education (or skill set) to do them? Guess you must be lacking of knowledge of the transition in our economy producting things to a service industry, and so therefore would be ignorant of the reality that people who had "good" jobs, higher wages, lost those jobs because those jobs left the country.
