Your second sentence is debatable, as it appears that many European countries have high enough minimum total compensations (including benefits and other indirect costs) that unemployment is relatively high, and it can be very tough to get on the economic ladder.

But equally a poverty wage job doesn't get you on the ladder it makes you an indentured servant.
The company I work at has hired a number of employees whose only previous work was very low wage, and that (low wage) experience definitely weighed in their favor.

A verified history of showing up in time and not getting fired for theft or negligence is definitely valuable.
My second sentence is suggesting that fast food restaurants will pass higher labor onto consumers. Your point seems entirely unrelated to that idea.
You are correct, I missed that period, and was in fact referring to your second paragraph.
Which countries are suffering from this?
