[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8885540, member: 683408"] You actually did, unless you never really said the workers in question should "move up" to better jobs. Here's how our language works: If you said [I]"half of all the people in New York City"[/I], you would be describing 4.1 million people, even if you didn't say "4.1 million people". If you said [I]"half of an hour"[/I], you'd be describing 30 minutes, even if you didn't directly say [I]"30 minutes[/I]". If you said [I]"the tallest building in Chicago", [/I]you'd be describing Willis Tower, even if you never said "Willis Tower" or "Sears Tower" (as it used to be called). When you talk about 44% of our workforce that can just [I]"move up"[/I] in jobs, you are describing [I]"tens of millions"[/I] of people, and [I]"tens of millions"[/I] of job openings, even if you didn't say the words directly. So show me the tens of millions of job openings, that you think people should just "move up" to in order to make a living wage or better. [/QUOTE]
