Youth unemployment is much higher than other generations. It's also incredibly expensive to go to uni. Apprenticeships basically don't exist so you can't learn a trade and if you get a good paying job, house prices have grown so far out of line with wages, it's incredibly difficult to buy a house. Apart from that, young people have it great.
If you can clean you can deal directly with the customers and cut out the cleaning firm, I came across someone like that cleaning the caravans in Porthcawl, she was very welll paid.
Failing that work hard and work towards becoming a supervisor or manager, or go into a different area of work, if you are not earning enough thats what you'll have to do?
Bewildered as to why people would attempt to form an argument that anyone in full time employment does not deserve pay that is enough to live off from without government handouts.
You are completely deluded. These people need to be paid a decent ****ing wage. You can't start a business when you're on minimum wage. You can't live on minimum wage so how are you going to save to start your own company. Why are we in a situation where we are attacking the most vulnerable people in society, so the rich can get richer and richer?
Whilst the right laud the reduction in benefits being paid as a result of job creation and left wax lyrical about how using the benefits system creates wealth equality, both sides really cannot grasp that in one of the richest nations in world, both arguments are wrong.
The minimum wage is anything but. It may work for teenagers and young 20 somethings living with their parents, but in the real world, all employers should strive to pay at least the living wage as a bare minimum.
I have said that in other threads that I am more than happy to rent for my whole life however a mortgage would lower my outgoings and provide something at the end, I earn enough to budget and pay my rent but I've not enough wage+deposit to get a mortgage. I don't think my situation is close to unique, the whole housing market is a trap.
My lease expires in September and I am waiting to see how much they try and up it.
I think they must have used various small cleaning firms?
She's an example of someone who was on her uppers but got out of poverty by spotting an opportunity, I appreciate not everyone has ambition and inititve, some would prefer to blame the government and would prefer to tax higher earners more and more.
I wonder why young people can't afford to buy houses?

Train stations need to be cleaned. There are many cleaners that need to clean them. Why should they not be paid a decent wage for doing a job that needs to be done? If they weren't needed, they wouldn't be employed. For every person that's "worked hard" to get to where there are, there will be many others who have failed. 60% of new businesses fail in their first 3 years.
