Some interesting debates about that come up when people debate the minimum wage. There's the idea that low-paying jobs had never been intended to be actual jobs for adults to support themselves on. They were intended as jobs for young people starting out or people in need of temporary work. In the modern era, however, those jobs became standardized and we have the situation where people can work a regular 40-hour week and not be able to live on it.
These jobs should only be for young people. I 100% agree

Because people have to pay their bills, eat and take care of families, I think they know it’s not ideal but sometimes you do what’s necessary to live, maybe it’s temporary or combined with other income.
