Amazing how this got so off-track.
The reality in the USA is:
Thanks to communication technology and that new web phenomena known as BackPage, the sex trade is a red-hot industry.
For good "providers", the numbers are $5k per week. Average girls make $2k per week.
This is AFTER TAX of course....LOL.
This is a huge underground economy.

Starbucks, Walmart, McD's, etc., they're paying exactly what they should pay. Their pay scale is not the problem. The problem is there's nowhere else to go for the non college bound, unskilled worker. Manufacturing is decimated. Apprenticeship programs are virtually non resistant. Couple that with a general attitude of younger people not wanting to get any dirt under their finger nails...you have a job problem. Weak manufacturing equals a weak economy, and a bleak job market. It's as simple as that.
When a senior in high-school can do your job after 8 hours of training, you are never going to be very well paid.
The US is not weak in manufacturing it is about the same proportion of our economy as it was 30 years ago. We simply do it with fewer workers. The problem is manufacturing employment and that is not fixable. This street goes one way -- fewer and fewer manufacturing jobs as far as the eye can see but robust reasonable production levels.
If you follow the logic of say the ww2 generation who worked in various mfg jobs, they bitched about their jobs and told their children to go to college and get an education so they don't grow up and work on an assembly line.
So the boomers went to college,and got degreeed jobs, Now exactly what did the degreed boomers tell their children growing up? To go get a degree but don't do what I do?
Perhaps their is plenty of job dissatifaction among degreed boomers and just told their kids to do what they want and I'll pay for it. Hence the boomer brats did nothing... they want to start at the top.
So here we are.
Go be a union bus driver so you can get spit on? Go be a teacher and be spit on or a cop the list is endless.
Rewarding work looks fleeting to the spoiled children of the boomers.

Myth. The government isn't anti-business. In fact, the government is run by corporations. The regulations are on purpose, to decrease competition by small businesses to larger multi-national corporations.
