Here’s what it’s really like living in “low paying” circumstances.
Do you see them out picketing and striking?
No. Because they really can’t afford to miss one day of work.
Well it’s the only leverage they have they gonna keep working till they homeless
But that didn't stop her from opening her legs up to a complete stranger six different times lol.
Part of it is true, the real truth is they don't wanted miss a single meal that can feed them even if free family meal or 20% as you know restaurant food are expensive as who could really afford to dine in if they make ends-meet.
6 kids? That's the problem. I can get by by myself very comfortably in LA with a minimum waged job. The problem is people keep marrying and popping out little ones without having a sound plan to pay for everything. Don't have kids if you can't even take care of yourself first!!!
Of course 70% or more of black women with kids are UN-married.
And you better not force birth onto people, but......that's just what the conservative supreme court demands.
Exactly! Pro Choice!
I don't believe that. LA with a minimum wage?
@@CGarrett Well, Uber driving is like minimum wage but I work 10 hours a day 6 days a week so yea, I make enough to even save some money and put into stocks every week.
Crapfornia
Six kids? You would think after kid number 4…
After kid number 1. I make 6 figures in los Angeles. It's still a struggle
😂😂😂 good one
San Francisco solved their homeless problem easily by shipping them all down to los angeles
There are tons up there
Cities everywhere are doing this. Its like musical chairs. Just passing the problem onto another state or city. They'll pay a person a a sum of money to leave and not return. Granted its cheaper but its like whack a mole. Where's the true humanity ? So much for everyone working together.
Those who judge will never understand and those that understand will never judge.
Not for me as Judging is a lesson for them to learn as well in improving my leadership. I used to be that way and that thinking but thinking that way make me weak and docile. I just glad I am empowered to judge.
Anyone with any "Intelligence" would know that the "Cost of Living" in the United States, is "Extremely, Higher" than the "Minimum to Average Wage". The average "1 Bedroom Apartment" in Los Angeles, Metropolitan Area is between $1,800-$2,500 per month. Food prices, Utilities, Health Insurance, and Gasoline costs have "Astronomically" increased. Unless, an employee working in a "Fast Food, Restuarant"is seeking to become a "Manager", it is better to seek "Higher Education" and achieve a "Higher" paying job. In my opinion.
This is great depression 2.0
Sound good if don't have to work to make ends meet. I would have a degree if those Woke education didn't disqualified me for not approving woke people, family and decision.
What a waste of my time and money spend on further my education. Now I have to work and save up money to start something else.
Six kids on minimum wage?!? Uuhhmmm......someone please evaluate her judgment.
All of Los Angeles' affordable housing efforts need to go towards the workforce. The people that are suffering from mental illness and deep drug addiction need a whole different type of assistance. Don't get it twisted.
Higher wages just mean fewer jobs duh
I know it's already been said but fast foods not meant to be a career it's a stepping stone for teenagers as well as senior citizens trying to make ends meet. Why should you get paid the same amount as somebody who went to college? Like hello can't turn fast food into college career jobs!
Not everyone has rich parents like you
@@wutm8 This has nothing to do with rich parents. Scholarships exist, community colleges and online classes exist. There are plenty of options out there for people, like OP said these kinds of jobs should be a stepping stone to getting something better. Only someone who is satisfied with mediocrity will have the same view as you.
@@wutm8 Community College is cheap. Get a trade.
@@rhuttrho88 I have a friend who got an hvac degree but lost his job and now cant find work with his certificate because companies hire cheap immigrant labor.
dude works as an uber driver now
If Walmart employees have the right to complaints so does the fast food workers that do all the dirty work and sweat inside Hell kitchen just so you can have a cheap meals.
*root cause* > drug-addiction.... oh wait that's taboo to talk about in California because decriminalization of drug possession led to more drug-addicts... ie "homeless"
Those jobs were for jr and high school students. They were a way for minors to learn how to earn a living. They were NOT meant to provide sufficient income to sustain a household! Live within your means…or get a better paying job and THEN make babies. Raised 2 children and they found a way to learn what they needed to better themselves in this world.
okay, how many times did she say the word “wurrkurrs” during this report? was it necessary? why not call them employees? is it because their jobs are soon to be automated? hmmm …
Same with Doordash.. making 1800 a month.. which is enough for a tent and fruitsnacks..
Technically, fast food jobs are starting jobs for people going to school(teens). Is sad to see adults living from fast food restaurant's salaries. I wonder, was the solution for this situation.
Fast food joints have already started putting self serve kiosks in the places........they're not going to get raises.
Damn 6 kids? Imagine if she spent more time on her education than poppling out babies. she wouldn't be working fast food.
6 kids? Ridiculous! I don't feel sorry for people like that! Don't have that many children if you can't support yourself first!
6 kids are still God children. Don't blame the parents with little to no education after all they maybe migrants.
I was unemployed for a few months this year. I refused to apply to jobs that would not cover all my bills plus some extra for savings. Go back to school or get certified and get something better idk.
Trying to raise 6 kids off a minimum wage job ain't gonna cut it bruh. There's your problem...
Politicians won’t pay for Sanitariums.
They won't pay for anything
People are ignorant and divided. Except nothing to be good for the future generations. The poor against the poor. Amerika the beautiful
Imagine taking a job that won't pay your bills, then being surprised your bills aren't paid.🤷♂️
Your statement makes little sense, damned if you do damned if you don't. These people take up the statistically available jobs fir them and feeding your privileged happy meals. Keep raging on your keyboard because soon this will be outside your door.
"wHy ShOuLd I cHaNgE" is the attitude that they have... Usually the "lifers" at fast food places have the intelligence of a potato but expect to be paid top dollar...
@@WrongThink_ I'd guess it has more to do with effort than intelligence honestly.
You do you want these people to work in, brain surgeon?
@@jogmas12 whatever they develop a skill set in or put in the effort to accomplish. Or they can choose to remain stagnant.
At their age and still flipping burgers is pathetic. Those jobs are for teenagers not adults.
The problem isn’t their pay it’s lack of affordable housing. La makes more than enough money via tax to convert or build affordable housing properties
18% of. UC Berkeley and 22% of UCLA students are homeless.
Wait till AI take their jobs
Labor goes up so it gets funneled to the buyer. At Burger King the other day I got a double Whopper Junior and large sota for $8.00. Their prices will be so high they'll go out of business. Give them$25.00 to get my order Wrong...
I occasionally treat myself to McD's fries as a guilty pleasure. Today I bought SMALL Fries and one McDouble...total price $6.33. No drink?! I think it was just 2-3 years ago when both of those items were on the $1 menu. No more!
I was thinking the same thing. I got a combo meal for $8 and decided i will never do that again. I will just go down to the cafe-style restaurant and pay $12 for a MUCH better meal and better service.
Terrible you can work full time and still homeless
You could say that trinkle down effect has uh worn off😂😂😂
Skill up.
I can’t wait for AI to replace you
@@BootyWarrior80892I'm sure so, but single moms trying to raise 6 kids on minimum wage/effort will go away before me, likely those kids too.
@@mileslantz4106 sounds like opening their legs was a choice just like still being in fast food.
Jeez ya see people these born again terrorists want your kids as some form of slave. It's deeply brainwashed into them. No lie!
They are the true meaning of poison masculinity and incel repression.
"Mother of six?" Maybe she should have quit having babies after 1 or 2.
What do you expect when you get paid 12 dollars an hour at a subway that’s inside a shopping center
My nephew is a code writer/ software Engineer makes $77 k in northwen Cali for a fortune 500 co and he is homeless half the time and coach surfs.
Here's an idea, if you can't do any better than a fast-food job, and I want to make it perfectly clear that there's nothing wrong with that, maybe find a way to stop having kids that you can't support. 6 kids? Seriously?
If you think like a rich person then you will be rich, if you think like a poor person you will sponge off of others
some people .....this is all they have.
No college is for everyone complaining is for losers
I used to work fast food as my first "real job." 1 1/2 years at a Taco Bell. These jobs are almost in all instances stepping stones. While I don't want to criticize these individuals at this meeting, unless their goal is area manager or higher, fast food will never provide a good wage. It's also a young person's job. If you're in your teens or twenties, you can tolerate all the standing and constant work in the kitchen, in earning some extra spending money. One thing that doesn't change is time moves on. Do things that can improve your life, whether it's more education or at least learning what successful upper-level managers in fast food do. Learn those skills. The thing is, do you still want to be working the fast food window in your 40s, 50s and 60s? Even if for some reason you do, your body may give out before then working like crazy at a fast food restaurant. There's nothing wrong with these jobs, but there comes a time to move on. That's my two-cents.
Some folks want all the benefits without taking the steps.
100%. However, what happens when you grow up in an underdeveloped neighbourhood where opportunities are limited? Where you come from an unstable household and have little direction in navigating your years after becoming a teenager. These people certainly don't LIKE to do these jobs, but there are no other opportunities for them. Chances are they've grown up without the necessary skills and background to break the socioeconomic barriers. Of course, I'm not saying these jobs should be paid 100k, but the minimum wage should reflect a LIVING wage, the bare minimum.
You’re so ignorant you have no idea why these people ended up stuck there. When did you work fast food? 40 years ago when a young person could actually afford an apartment?
@@nickrod7627 Agree. I was in a rut at one point in my life, but got out of it. One thing I noticed in this video is working fast food isn't doing any favors to many of these workers' health. Many look very overweight. When I worked fast food the food was basically free to employees on duty. It's either that or the employees here get a large discount. There's nothing wrong with treating yourself to a burger or taco, but living the fast food dining at work lifestyle is creating obesity because food is expensive elsewhere. :/
@@roachtoasties That's a fantastic point that often gets overlooked. I think as humans it looks better on paper to go for the convenient options most of the time. Sometimes there aren't any other jobs to switch to, and if they are they probably require skills or other requirements that these workers don't have. I would hope that they would choose to invest in themselves but in the meantime, it is very tough to make ends meet during that transition.
Fast food workers make more money than retail employees.
I'd rather have artificial intelligence and and robots make the food
Better get out while you can. Imagine another 18 months-2 years plus. Fast Food will leave in a flash and many will.
Why is my hamburger so expensive??? You screw the boss the boss come back and screw you… until the day he automate everything.
I miscalculated. I was thinking some girls apply at companies in the hopes of screwing the boss when they're alone with him.
Nothing like some fast food boy some fried waffles n chickens bro who twinks of these tings bro who????
If wages are raised more then business would perhaps slow down due to the higher prices of the food. There is a limit to how much can be paid to employees without causing a loss of customers
Capitalism can just slow its roll or perish.
No, they will increase prices.
Yea self checkouts arent helping your job security nor the inflation causing less business for the hospitality industry either.
Some of these comments sound like they are coming from
very privileged individuals. We rely HEAVILY on these individuals. This is all some folks have. Show some respect and compassion. I hope they get the help they need while meeting their goals to bigger and better opportunities. :)
💯 💚 👍
If you have a minimum wage job in the US, you are more privileged than most of the world that gets paid way less. These fast food workers need to check their own privileges. No compassion needed, they will be replaced in the next few years by automation (vending machines, robot burger flippers and kiosks).
@@h011yw00d still not gonna stop you from going to the drive-thru so humble yourself
@@desh_holm They have a job to do, they better be grateful because it won't be there much longer. They should think before having SIX kids while having a job meant for high school and college kids. Obviously, its too hard for them to think.
The help they need is Effort, and it's up to them.
when u have too many damn little rascals at your house u gonna have a problem paying your rent and your bills especially when your in L.A
Raise the pay to $25.00 per hour.+ Medical, Dental, vision to include there family and extended families....
Then go get a Hamburger at McDonald's for: $45.00. And they will still F@#$. Up your Order..
Let's pay them more!!! Why not??!
Campers and trash, as in people or things?🤔
No one is chained. Too expensive to live? Move to another state
I gave my last 5$❤
The problem there is, the fast food industry is not supposed to be a career job. Unless you're a manager or owner of the establishment.. fast food industry is where you start your working career, it's more for those in high school or young adults that have never had jobs before. You should not be able to support a household flipping burgers or passing bags of food through a drive through window for McDonald's... I worked at subway when I was 16 for two years. And then moved on to other things from there.
In LA, a full-time fast food worker would make $35,000 a year @ minimum wage of $16.78 per hour.
And you think that's enough with 2500 a month rent? Driving an hour and gas to get to work. Childcare. ????? Its not
@@mamatrain100 So you're paying $2500 for rent, driving an hour to a minimum wage job, and paying for childcare? Where's the baby daddy's contribution. Two people could live on $70,000 until they get the job skills to find higher paying employment.
@@mamatrain100 Oh they deserve a car? a whole house? People making min wage should use the bus and bike to work. They shouldn't be having any children. They should be sharing a 1 bedroom apartment with someone until they can figure out their life. These are jobs for teenagers and college students, not for raising a family.
@@Jeanne90275 Okay....keep acting like this. Life will humble you....
You can’t have a job and be homeless only by choice , something gotta change
These jobs are for college kids not mothers with six kids
Yeah, I quit the restaurant job as the mirgants worker just replaced me from OT to part time workers. I am nice don't wanted to compete hours with cute guys and they speak little to no English.
Besides working part time in the restaurant was a waste of my time and gas as I have to work 2 jobs but still not enough money so I gone regardless the owner liked me as employee.
To many food waste and hustle and bustle and picking up sack from others that thinks they have better advantages as they just got out of High School and demand they have to go home before midnight.
Working in the restaurant is like War. War against other coworkers, guests and managers. I have to SOS out from Hell inside the Kitchen and yes no tip with high demand and no Holiday pay.
It's so hard to watch this. No one wants to contribute to someone losing the ability to afford their home. At the same time, flipping burgers doesn't even require a high school diploma. It's the kind of work children do as their first job. Making a career out of it is incredibly poor life planning. If they need more money, they should work a job that pays more. If that requires school and taking on debt, welcome to the club.
You do not know what you're talking about. I'm 70 now and on the edge of homelessness because of medical bills. I did everything right according to conservative cannon. Got a degree. Saved for the future. Paid off my home. Didn't get second mortgages. If every adult working in fast food walked off the job tomorrow, the industry would shut down.
@@mamatrain100 What does your medical debt have to do with fast food workers?
The Club sucks
@@theotheleo6830 Everything. Fast food pays starvation wages and theres not enough teenagers to pick up the slack. Blaming people for not making enough does NOTHING TO KEEP THAT CHEAP LABOR OFF WELFARE. But, you must like a world where 10 year olds work after midnight. Yea you read that right. All to support the billions the fast food Aristocracy needs to build their castles. Meantime we get to die because we've only got money to pay rent. Make no mistake, you're next unless you're one of the predators.
Look up the history of why minimum wage was created. Its supposed to be a living wage. I understand who is saying fast food workers should strive to do better but not everyone is made to be a manager or made to get a degree. But i do agree minimum wage isn't supposed to give you an extravagent life style. But those who make minimum wage should be able to afford rent, buy clothes, get a used car, and what ever else you need for a minimum way of life.
Would a "living wage" be the same for a 16 yr old living at home and a single mother of 6??
@@mileslantz4106 yes it would be the same. More kids doesnt equal more money. Did you even google the history/origin of minimum wage in the united states?
@@mileslantz4106 your not supposed to raise a family of 6 on minimum wage... and how some people are able mange that in this day age age, they are amazing parent(s). But raising and have kids are two different things. Some parents have kids and let society raise them with no care in thr world. All they provide is a roof over their kids head and let the streets raise them should be ashamed of them selfs.
@@rattanack1413 I'm talking about defining a "living wage". A living wage for a 16 yr old at home and a single mother of 6 are of course different.
@@rattanack1413 I'm familiar with the origin and who put it in place, hence my stance. Abolish the minimum wage. Let workers and employers negotiate their own agreements.
Keep voting for those same politicians and policies that have ruined this state. 🤷🏽♂️
Its funny because Republicans would just put the nail in the coffin on these issues.
Thank you
it’s your damn problem for working at a minimum wage job in L.A u should know by now L.A is just too damn expensive to live

People should hold onto their horses and pay these people for bathing with their worth it worth more and if you're not going to do that at least applied let them take showers places cuz they working all night having play take a shower colinas is next to godliness that's the least you can do if you're too expensive to get an apartment taking Lee supply shower so they can take a clean fresh hour before they start work and a clean fresh shower when they leave work God bless you guys I hope you're able to get a good home
Poverty wages, living wages, unhoused. They make all new terms to change the narrative. 1) You're getting paid at least minimum wage and you still cannot get by? Start with some introspection on their own finances. Maybe you shouldn't have 3-5 kids all wanting 900 dollar iphones and playstations. If the best job you could get is in fast food, maybe you shouldn't be having children at all. These jobs weren't meant to support a family. They were meant for part time jobs for high school and college kids. If you've been there for years, you should have become a supervisor who obviously get paid way better. 2) You agreed to these wages when you took the job. If you don't like it, it's YOUR prerogative to gain other skills and find a better job. Were they forced into these jobs? No. So if it's the best you could do, it's YOUR job to do better and maybe even move out of the sh!thole cities to find better employment. 3) If you work fast food, places like McDonalds get one free meal during their shift and can take two items home. And you're still on government assistance? Because you have tons of children on EBT? 4) This is the reason why companies are pushing for automation. These fast food workers will be replaced in the next 5-10 years. We're already seeing kiosks put in. Obviously the machines need to be refined and there should be food lockers with codes only the payer gets much like Little Caesars. They have pizza vending machines and robots flipping burgers. The technology is already here. It just needs testing and implementation then these fast food places could be run by one person feeding the machines ingredients a few times a day. 5) Just like the cashiers that unionized and went on strike in the 2000's, now they have mostly been replaced by self checkout.
This is a real problem there are many people who had high paying careers who lost their jobs and are homeless what do we expect from these minimum wages and high rents.
These jobs aren't meant to be careers they're meant to be part time jobs.
They're full-time jobs now that you sent the rest to CHiNa
Okay so you're on board with opening access to,"real," careers by making college free like the rest of the developed world, right?😃
@Wayne Roberts how did I send the jobs to China? I voted for Trump who wanted to bring back companies and work.
@Meiu why would I believe in free education if all they teach you in college is communism and Marxism. Those are things I'm against. Most people that are successful do not go to college. You can get a free education by reading books on your own and finding out your own beliefs.

That's why you work there to start. And then get a career. When I grew up you had a fast food job thru high school. Now people want a career out of it.
It is sad and it sucks but fast-food is an entry level job (minimum wage...) and you shouldn't expect to bank off of it. If entry job wage goes up everything else will go up as well... Instead of blaming the low pay blame the city and the state which has out of control rent and housing rates. Also moving to another state/city thats more affordable might be an option.

Stop eating any outstanding food . Either by hook or crook your days of any civility are waning with that mass corporate fed disinformation.
Each enterprise must split it's profit with it's workers 50/50 the workers are the ones making the profit for the company with their hard work, they are the muscles that make the products and the business owner is the brain and planner who mange and direct the business with his commercial brain and make the profit,, without the workers the company can't function and without the owner commercial skills the company won't make profit both are very important for any successful business, unless you take the business away from the owner and gave it to the workers and make it run collectively with help of economic planner who himself would be worker and get commission from the profit and end the exploitation once and for all.

These businesses are in business to make money. A fast food job is not a job that you are supposed to raise a family off of. Fast food jobs are for students and someone trying to supplement their income. They knew what the job paid when they were hired. If they need more more then they need to get another job. Period.
Voters choice Great job voters. You voted for pro criminal politicians who passed pro criminal policies, laws, bail reform and juvenile justice. How is that working out for the victims of crimes. Creating a criminal paradise, catch and release policies. You are your security detail.
The rich and employee/managerial classes NEED us to create their wealth by coercing and convincing us of the lack of value of these jobs when the fact is that these businesses require us to even function. Unionizing is vital.
Most fast food jobs were not meant to be a career. And certainly not meant to raise a family on one. There ARE other jobs.
You'll need to increase your marketable job skills to find better jobs. That's what it comes down to. Everybody had to do it.
@@DerrickW30STFU. I like how you totally ignored the fact that the OP said these businesses need these workers to be able to have a business
Ask the people of Detroit how much unionizing helped, the union will force workers to pay union dues and are highly unlikely to improve wages.
@@MrWildbill 😂😂😂 Whatever you say scab
Fast food jobs were designed for teenagers living at home to save some money to buy a car. Nobody could ever live off of wages working at McDonalds. Who would want that to be their "career"? I hear moms threatening their kids when they don't do well in school "Do you want to be flipping burgers for the rest of your life??!"
Don't worry! In a few years you won't have a fast food job. Rosie the Robot, 🤖 I Robot 🤖 and the rest will have your jobs!!!!
yeah it's hard to make a living at a job that was designed for a teenager to work part time.
Our embarrassing public education system has led to these problems, but nothing will be done about that.
In the meantime, these workers (who perform a very valuable service) need financial support. I think the multi-billion dollar multi-national corporations can afford to cough up the cash, but they won't.
Corporations and business owners...Start actually paying your workers...we tax payers love stopping for fast food..our lives are busy....Yes..Unionize.........
They need to increase their marketable job skills and obtain better paying jobs. We ALL had to do that. Most of us anyway.....
The comments are disgusting

Unions are useless they are nothing but puppets of the Capitalists..
All businesses and enterprises need to be Nationalized completely and transfer it's ownership to the workers and run collectively so that they share the profit amongst themselves instead of one individual become billionaire of the business..
Fast food jobs were never meant to be a career. These are entry-level, unskilled labor positions. Back in the day, these jobs were filled by teens, but now the employees are adults. These adults should go back to school to learn a trade that pays a living wage instead of demanding more money from traditionally low-paying jobs.
Ok, they can quit and find a better paying job, or start their own company. Stop complaining.
I'm glad to hear it. I also heard most new companies are going out of business these days.
You're all hypocrites
So you made a series of poor choices that wound up in you making a career of fast food?
That's fine. As a matter of fact, before I moved on to the military and made a person of myself I considered the training program at McDonalds too.
Turned out I could do better. I worked and developed myself.
I became better.
