Both work 48 hour weeks, who takes care of the baby? Who is going to give them the overtime.

His premise falls apart on its own

Actually, he does explain it in the replies.

After a year of this, the wife has a baby and works just 20 hrs a week, still at $15/hr. The husband has been promoted to store manager or higher (convenience and fast-food store chains are desperate for workers they can promote) and makes $25/hr

It's so simple! ๐Ÿ™„jagoff

The amount of store manager positions is always an order of magnitude less then the lowest level jobs. 90% of people would not be promoted, because there simply isn't any positions to be promoted to.

Ding ding, and let's not forget that managers are expected to work even more hours. Usually I see retail managers working over 60 hours a week. Granted it does spare your body because you get a chair and paperwork to deal with rather than back breaking lifting and hauling and walking constantly.

But most get to a supervisor position and get shit canned because they pissed off someone in corporate or they just can't move beyond there because typically only college degrees get to manage a store or move on to corporate.
