But that’s the issue… If the person was working before, how would that have been different if she had to work at a FT job and had child care issues, versus now that she is unemployed. At her previous job, she would still have the same challenges to juggle a schedule as you know other people who work do… Seems like two separate issues…[/quote]
The issue remains.
The marginal benefit is reduced.
Working for $16/hr with that issue is different than working for $10/hr with that issue and is different than not working for $8/hr with that issue…
And some under the table income from Craigslist, Ebay, whatever and she’s ahead by staying ‘behind’. Even realized savings from the excess time if put to good use may make up the difference.
Or maybe the job is just a job of convenience and not necessity.[/quote]
Well then, I guess we’ll just have to give these jobs to people who want them…Such as undocumented workers… Oh wait, we can’t do that too…
