Only in America does someone have to work 2+ jobs to survive right?

I know tons of people with 2 or 3 jobs and they still struggle

Yeah after corporations starting cutting benefits and hours for workers it is hard to make a living on just one job, I don't know how a lot of the young people are doing it.

Working 2 jobs keeps the unemployed numbers down, looks good on paper, but doesn't say much for making a livable wage. @cherokeepatti

@softspokenman I retired from a job about 10 years ago and worked at Walmart a couple years later, there were people working there working two jobs because they had cut hours, they were doing OK before the hours were cut. So many didn't even own a car, they would walk, skateboard, get a ride with someone, use an electric two-wheel scooter, etc. They just couldn't afford one and pay rent and bills too. And a lot of them were getting food stamps to have groceries on the table.
