Pointing back to statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics we find that the latest data shows there are 273,000 workers with a Bachelors or higher working at or below minimum wage. In a workforce of roughly 156 million this means that something like 0.00175% of the workforce is in the situation you describe. This is hardly a pressing issue.If we have "plenty" just waiting to be created, why haven't they been created? If you have to rely on the government to force these jobs into existence that hardly sounds like a good solution. Government has no business picking winners and losers. I would be thrilled to opt out of Social Security if given the option.In other words, everyone will be mandated higher wages from those that do not have to pay them.... If you want to earn more money, make yourself more valuable. Let's face it, unskilled labor is not that valuable. It is basic supply and demand. There is a lot of supply of unskilled labor and limited demand - therefore low wages. The solution is not a new mandate to make unskilled labor even more artificially expensive. The solution is to learn a skill that makes your labor more valuable.
