RE: Now Hiring!

That sounds good for someone who wants to get a service job in the US. There are places where such jobs will not pay enough for a man to get a place of his own, and allow him to save. Without savings, the lockdowns forced people to do things. Those living like characters from Friends, will lose roomates or may be forced out. I guess some moved in with relatives or started working in some other activity, that are not so affected by these lockdowns. Some people moved away from their ex-jobs: out of the high rent cities.

One third of the income is the guideline for rent. In reality, for many it's over 100%. I mean a two bedroom apartment and not a big place. These jobs are not enough to feed the landlords.

I don't disagree that the cost of living is much to high in the country. I know I am blessed that I have the job I do. If I had a family though and I had to work in a service job to take care of my family, I would bite the bullet and do it. My dad did it for 30 years. It's just what you do. I guess I am old school though.

I guess that's what mortgages are for. Borrow way over your head and at the end of your life, you're broke.
