At what?
As the article mentions, there's jobs out there. There's no shortage of jobs paying $10-$12. The problem is, no matter how hard you work, those jobs pay $10-$12 an hour. Which in today's economy isn't enough to own a house, a car, and raise a kid, even with two working parents. The price of goods keeps going up while salaries keep going down.
That's been the problem in most of the right to work states and what I fear is going to happen in Kentucky now that we went Republican in the house. The number of jobs goes up, but wages go down.
Trump probably won't fix it as there's not a way to with our approach to the economy. It will require wage controls or redistribution of some sort, or some form of both, which usually get slammed as liberals stealing from the rich. Or a complete hands off approach to the economy where businesses like GM and Trump don't get billions in federal aide, and instead just fail, but that approach usually gets slammed by conservatives as unjustly penalizing economic drivers when they fail.
