    You are assuming they have the luxury of getting a higher paying job. This requires two things

    1. Higher paying jobs exist and are available to them
    2. They can afford to not work until they land one of these jobs.

    The first only works if there is a strong economy and employers are not cooperating to set a low “market price” which they have a strong incentive to do

    The second only works if there is again a strong economy allowing for savings AND a strong social safety net / welfare system giving the freedom to not make a desperate choice of employment

    Im gonna be real with you if this stuff had not occurred to you before now you should just stop having opinions on things.
