here's an example of how hard it is to even get a super low paying job http://www.the-american-interest.com/blog/2013/11/20/dc-residents-clamor-for-walmart-jobs/
more applicants get into harvard than a walmart..
The problem isn't unskilled people, the problem is a shrinking economy; the obvious answer is, "Just go out and make your own job", but this is killed with higher and higher levels of regulation until the only option you have is applying for some other business who can afford the extra fees of operating a business (odds are, this is a corporation; this is not a coincidence.) All America has to do is unclench its regulatory asshole and we'll be fine, but that doesn't seem to be happening; people are actually asking for more regulation. When people have more wealth, they have more time with less exhaustion, and when they have more time and more energy, they have the opportunity to become more skilled, and so the economy improves as more work emerges and more wealth is spreading around.
