But for every able-bodied man and woman? They need to get their asses to work.
And the ONLY way to truly "demand" higher wages from your employer is to EARN that ability to say "I DESERVE a raise". Which is the age old motivation to better yourself.
If our society would get back to that way of thinking, I believe that we would move forward.

For the avg person, its a myth if you work hard you will get raises. Those days are over, the main thing that matters now is share holder value. Employment is just an expense to keep as low as possible. Look at the guy who walked 20 miles a day to go to work. Hard worker,never missed a day of work in 10 yrs. He worked at that factory for 10 yrs and was making $10.55 an hour.
I made 5 cents more an hour the first time I walked on a factory floor in 1984. The game has changed.
