Comments

Georgia is a Right to Work State and responded to the electronics boom in the 1980s. Manufacturing operations moved from the unionized northern states beginning in the 1960s to escape their labor unions. Now most union employees work for the government, the utilities or really dumb companies.

East Point GA is 80% Black. I expect adult minorities will move to manufacturing and vacate the minimum wage fast food jobs as this economy restores itself.

Minimum wage fast-food and retail jobs need to be filled by 16 to 20 year old students working part-time and summers.
