120. lappuse - The substandard wages in the public service jobs are not the only feature of the program undermining labor standards. Under the administration's proposal, every individual required to work would be forced under pain of losing all assistance, to accept a job paying the minimum wage, regardless of that individual's level of skill or experience or the prevailing wage for the particular type of work. This would permit unscrupulous employers to exploit both the poor, who would be forced to take substandard...
