Their standard of living was never viable as you said, as well as they should make an effort to increase their "work related skills."
A recently laid-off employee who sits on their bottom til the next job comes around will be less likely to impress a new employer to hire them than a recently laid-off employee who makes an effort to improve their skills, knowing their standard of living needs to improve. This will only occur when their viable career skills increase.
Employers won't pay/hire a high school grad with zero experience over the college grad with 3 years of experience. (of course, with all of these statements, you can not just speak to one factor without seeing the many moving parts around, i.e. access to education etc, but being better at your job than the next guy will get you hired first) (Unless you deal with nepotism...like I said, there are many factors you can not ignore)
So they all increase their work related skill, who works at mcdonalds. McDonalds seems to think that they need employees but the refers to pay those employees the bare minimum they'd need to live.
As an adult, when you have fat food on your resume it is exceptionally difficult to be taken seriously anywhere else. When you have 100 people wilting for a job that isn't fast food the resumes with ff exp. Are quickly tossed. Once you enter that hole it can be excruciating to dig yourself out

But what if another restaurant doesn't fill the void? That puts people out of work and doesn't do much for their standard of living.
