That's the thing......she doesn't want to be a retail manager anymore.
She wants out of retail altogether.
I tell her that she should be able to use her experience and work history to get a job almost anyplace these days, but it's not panning out that way for her yet.
This isn't 1986. Transferable skill sets don't matter.
She won't be able to get a skilled Corporate job from Retail management.
Business models aren't built around how much you need to live on.
Absolutely true. But if workers refuse to work for you or view you as a stopgap until they can get something better because of crappy wages, you really don't have much of a business to start with. What you have is a training facility for other employers, and they really appreciate you underwriting the cost of training a workforce for them.
Are people aware that unemployment has been is just money that these people have already paid into the system? It's their own money.
Anyone who has ever managed a business is acutely aware of this. Some, however, would rather phrase it as a drain on the taxpayers because it fits their narrative.
The average worker works 34.8 hrs per week. Ergo, 50% of jobs work less than 34.8 hrs. I don't know how to grab the raw data to tell exactly how many are less than 40 hrs (assuming 40 average hours mean full time)
I think in this case it would be more telling to know the median than the average, although that would be a heck of a lot harder to calculate. That's essentially what you are saying when you assert that 50% of jobs work less than 34.8 hours - if that's an average I don't think that conclusion is accurate because the average would also include overtime, etc.
As to what is full time, I think traditionally it has been that number of hours needed to qualify for full benefits. That was 32 hours years ago but with the affordable care act requiring covered employers to provide benefits to anyone working 30 hours or more, I think of full time as 30 hours +.
If you are applying for a job that takes LESS qualifications, DON'T GIVE YOUR HIGHER qualifications.
One has to learn how to use the "system".
If I did that there would be a 15 year gap in my work history. What explanation would give to that prospective employer?
