Report
shows more than half of US fast food workers receive government aid

More than
half of fast food workers in the United States, whose average wage is less than
$9 per hour, receive government anti-poverty benefits, according to a report
published October 15 by researchers at the University of California at
Berkeley.
The report, entitled “Fast-food, Poverty Wages: The Public Cost of
Low-Wage Jobs in the Fast-Food Industry,” found that families of non-managerial
fast food workers receive government aid totaling $7 billion per year,
including $3.9 billion for health care aid, $1.04 billion for food stamps, and
$1.91 billion from tax credits.
“The
taxpayer costs we discovered were staggering,” said Ken Jacobs, one of the
report’s co-authors. “People who work in fast-food jobs are paid so little that
having to rely on public assistance is the rule, rather than the exception,
even for those working 40 hours or more a week.” Fifty-two percent of fast food
workers rely on government assistance programs, compared to 25 percent of the
workforce as a whole.
Many fast
food workers are deliberately prevented from working full-time by management,
but the report shows that more than half of those who secure 40 hours per week
remain dependent on government assistance to survive. A total of 87 percent of
fast food workers receive no health benefits through their employer.
In a
commentary carried by the McClatchy-Tribune News Service, the lead
authors of the study, Sylvia Allegretto and Marc Doussard, wrote, “It might
come as a surprise that most Americans on public assistance programs work. In
the fast food industry, workers rely on public assistance programs in
particularly large numbers because those jobs just don’t pay them enough.”
While
paying their workers poverty wages, the fast food companies continue to rake in
enormous profits. The 10 largest US fast food corporations collectively account
for $3.8 billion of the $7 billion in government aid. These 10 fast food
providers reaped profits of $7.4 billion in 2012. Since 2009, fast food
companies have seen their profit margins double. Fast-food executives continue
to receive multimillion-dollar compensation packages. David Novak, CEO of Yum!
Brands received $29.4 million in compensation in 2012, or more than $14,000 per
hour.
On
average, fast food workers are paid $8.69 per hour, with many receiving wages
as low at $7.25 per hour. One out of five families in which one worker is
employed in the fast food sector is below the federal poverty line, and 43
percent are below 200 percent of the poverty line. Nearly 70 percent of fast
food workers are the main breadwinner for their family.
Almost 60
percent of new jobs created since the beginning of the economic crisis have
been low-paying service sector jobs, according to the statistics published by
NELP. Along the same lines, the Economic Policy Institute determined that,
based on the current trajectory, at least 30 percent of American workers will
be employed in such jobs by the year 2020.
A report
published by the Associated Press in July, based on research conducted
by Mark Rank of Washington University, concluded that four out of five
Americans are “economically insecure,” that is, they received an income
equivalent to less than 150 percent of the federal poverty line, were
unemployed, or received state assistance for a year or more.
Even as the
number of people in poverty continues to grow, government anti-poverty programs
are being slashed. The Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program, which
provides assistance to jobless workers who have exhausted state-run
unemployment benefits, is set to cease payments at the end of December.
According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP), 4 of 10
unemployed US workers have been unsuccessfully seeking new jobs for more than
27 weeks.
Reductions
in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payments will go into
effect on November 1 as a temporary increase in funding to the food assistance
program is allowed to expire. Further cuts to SNAP are being prepared, and the
House of Representatives approved a bill in mid-September that would cut $39
billion from SNAP over 10 years. The Democratic budget for 2013, passed earlier
in the year, has already cut $4 billion in funding for food assistance.
The
sudden withdrawal of both of these forms of aid will have a disastrous impact
on millions of working class families across America. At least 73 percent of
enrollees in public benefits programs come from families with at least one
working member, who still cannot make ends meet. The number of Americans who
depend on government funds to purchase food, meanwhile, jumped from 9 percent
in 2008 to 15 percent in 2012.

How Unskilled Immigrants Hurt Our Economy
Immigration’s
bottom line has shifted so sharply that in a high-immigration state like
California, native-born residents are paying up to ten times more in state and
local taxes than immigrants generate in economic benefits.
A handful of
industries get low-cost labor, and the taxpayers foot the bill. TRANSLATE,
FIRST WE GIVE OUR JOBS TO ILLEGALS, THEN WE GET THE TAX BILLS FOR THE LA RAZA
MEXICAN WELFARES STATE and CRIME TIDAL WAVE!
OBAMA and HIS BANKS:
THEIR PROFITS, CRIMES and LOOTING SOAR
UNDER OBAMA, TWO-THIRDS
OF JOBS GO TO HIS PARTY BASE OF ILLEGALS!
“At
the hearing, Dr. Rakesh Kochar, Associate Director for Research at the Pew
Hispanic Center, testified that in the year following the official end of the
recession (June 2009), foreign-born workers gained 656,000 jobs while
native-born workers lost an additional 1.2 million jobs.”
"We have a
situation where the job market — the bottom fell out, yet we kept legal
immigration relatively high without even a national debate," he said.
"As a consequence, a lot of the job growth has been going to
immigrants."
Mr. Obama did
take action this year to grant many illegal immigrants up to 30 years of age a
tentative legal status that prevents them from being deported and authorizes
them to work in the United States.
Some
Republicans in Congress have criticized Mr. Obama's policy, saying it violates
his powers and will mean more competition for scarce jobs.
AMERICANS (LEGALS) HAND THEIR JOBS OVER TO ILLEGALS USING STOLEN
SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS, PAY FOR THE ANCHOR BABY BREEDING = 18 YEARS OF
WELFARE, AND CRIME TIDAL WAVE… but have NO vote in amnesty?
BUT THE DEMS ARE REALLY NOT CONCERNED ABOUT AMNESTY PASSING
AS OBAMA WILL CONTINUE NON-ENFORCEMENT UNTIL ILLEGALS ARE VOTING FOR THEIR OWN
LA RAZA WELFARE STATE like MEXIFORNIA!
POVERTY IN THE BURBS…you are next and an illegal is next in your

SEC Probing Chipotle Over Claims The Burrito Chain
Hired Undocumented Workers
By Lisa Baertlein
May 18 (Reuters) - Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc received a subpoena from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as part of an expanding investigation into its alleged hiring of undocumented workers.
The Denver-based company fired about 500 employees more than a year ago following audits by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arm.
Chipotle said on Friday that it received the subpoena May 17 and that it intends to fully cooperate with the SEC's investigation.
Homeland Security and the criminal division of the U.S. Attorney's office for Washington, D.C., already are conducting probes into the company's compliance with immigration laws.
The SEC subpoena requested "information regarding our compliance with employee work authorization requirements, our related public statements and other disclosures, and related information," Chipotle said in a filing.
Michael Wildes, an immigration attorney and a former federal prosecutor who is not involved in the case, said it is "not common at all" for the SEC to get involved in immigration matters.
"It's often a ping-pong between the Justice Department and immigration authorities" with the Department of Labor at times stepping in, said Wildes.
Chipotle attorney Robert Luskin said in an email "it is not at all unusual for the SEC to join an investigation under these circumstances to determine whether the company has been forthcoming in its public statements."
Luskin, a top Washington lawyer, said he is "very confident that the SEC will find that the company fulfilled all of its obligations."
A spokeswoman for the SEC declined comment.
The popular chain is the highest profile U.S. company to come under the scrutiny of ICE since it shifted enforcement to employers rather than workers in 2009.
Unlike many rivals, Chipotle owns and operates its more than 1,000 U.S. restaurants and is ultimately responsible for hiring.
The company is known for its ability to control costs, particularly labor related expenses, while expanding rapidly.
Chipotle shares closed at $392.13 on Friday, almost 18 times higher than their $22 debut in 2006.

OBAMA HAS SABOTAGED E-VERIFY AND
PUT HILDA SOLIS, A LA RAZA SUPREMACIST IN AS SEC of (illegal) LABOR!
The economy, like
everything else adverse, is someone else's fault. But if only we borrowed and
spent a trillion dollars, unemployment would stay beneath 8%, Obama promised.
It soared far above. It's still above. No apology. No acknowledgment. Now, he
hails any dip as proof of progress when, in fact, it comes because so many just
give up seeking work.
THE ENTIRE REASON THE BORDERS ARE LEFT OPEN IS
TO CUT WAGES!
“We could cut unemployment in half simply by reclaiming the jobs
taken by illegal workers,” said Representative Lamar Smith of
Texas, co-chairman of the Reclaim American Jobs Caucus. “President Obama is on
the wrong side of the American people on immigration. The president should
support policies that help citizens and legal immigrants find the jobs they
need and deserve rather than fail to enforce immigration laws.”
ACCORDING
TO SENATOR LAMAR SMITH OF TEXAS, WHEN CHALLENGING SO- CALLED “HOMELAND SECURITY
= PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIPS” LA RAZA JANET NAPOLITANO, AS TO WHY OUR BORDERS ARE
WIDE OPEN TO NARCOMEX, OBAMA HAS CUT ENFORCEMENT BY MORE THAN 60% IN ALL AREAS.
OBAMA
HAS PROMISED HIS CRIMINAL BANKSTER DONORS THEIR JOBS WILL BE PROTECTED AND THEY
WILL NEVER BE PROSECUTED FOR THEIR CRIMES…
OTHER
THAN HIS OWN JOB, OBAMA HAS PROMISED ILLEGALS OUR JOBS, NO E-VERIFY, OPEN &
UNDEFENDED BORDERS TO EXPAND THE MEX OCCUPATION, GRINGO-PAID DREAM ACTS, NO ID
MAY BE REQUIRED OF ILLEGALS VOTING, LAWSUITS AGAINST AMERICAN STATES ON BEHALF
OF HIS LA RAZA PARTY BASE OF MEXICAN FASCIST.
CAN
WE AFFORD 49 MORE MEXIFORNIA’S? THAT STATE IS A MEX GANG INFESTED DUMPSTER! THE
STATE HAS THE LARGEST AND MOST EXPENSIVE
PRISON SYSTEM IN THE NATION. HALF THE INMATES ARE MEXICANS! THE CA
ATTORNEY GEN KAMALA HARRIS DECLARES THAT HALF THE MURDERS IN CA ARE BY MEX
GANGS! THE STATE PAYS OUT $20 BILLION PER YEAR IN WELFARE TO ILLEGALS! ON TOP
OF THAT COUNTIES HAND THEM MORE TO BREED ANCHOR BABIES. L.A. COUNTY PAYS OUT
$600 MILLION PER YEAR IN WELFARE TO ILLEGALS…. NEXT TO DRUGS AND CRIMINALS,
MEXICO’S BIGGEST EXPORT IS PREGNANT WOMEN!
Obama soft on illegals enforcement.... IT DOESN' EXIST UNDER OBAMA!
The figures show that Mr. Obama has made good on his pledge to shift enforcement away from going after illegal immigrant workers themselves - but at the expense of Americans' jobs, said Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, the Republican who compiled the numbers from the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE). Mr. Smith, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, said a period of economic turmoil is the wrong time to be cutting enforcement and letting illegal immigrants take jobs that Americans otherwise would hold.
MOST OF THE FORTUNE 500 ARE GENEROUS DONORS TO LA RAZA – THE MEXICAN
FASCIST POLITICAL PARTY. THESE FIGURES ARE DATED. CNN CALCULATES THAT WAGES ARE
DEPRESSED $300 - $400 BILLION PER YEAR!
“The principal
beneficiaries of our current immigration policy are affluent Americans who hire
immigrants at substandard wages for low-end work. Harvard economist George
Borjas estimates that American workers lose $190 billion annually in depressed
wages caused by the constant flooding of the labor market at the low-wage end.”

FROM JUDICIAL WATCH org
Illegal Immigration
Today, between
eight and fourteen million illegal aliens reside in the United States, draining
our nation’s economy, while presenting a security threat to the people of the
United States. Public officials have not only repeatedly failed to protect our
borders from this illegal alien invasion, but they have also been complicit in
the effort to undermine our nation’s immigration laws.
Judicial Watch
has an active investigation into the Obama administration’s policies and
actions on immigration. For instance, Judicial Watch had uncovered documents
indicating collusion between the Department of Justice and the American Civil Liberties Union with
respect to legal challenges of Arizona’s SB 1070. Recently, Judicial Watch
obtained documents revealing that administration officials misled Congress
regarding the scope of deportation dismissals in Houston, Texas. Additional
documents were obtained that detail a behind-the-scenes effort by the
administration to suspend deportation proceedings against “DREAM” Act aliens
and other illegal immigrants. Judicial Watch also routinely obtains smuggling
statistics and has revealed details of a shocking sex slave trafficking
operation in Houston, Texas.
