A comment on What does “shitty job” mean in the low-skill, low-pay world?. Parent comment
* high monthly premiums for healthcare with high deductibles (I pay 14k a year with a 5k deductible for each person in my family)
* high medication prices (people often buy drugs from canada)
* 0 maternity leave (15 weeks max in Canada)
* 0 vacation (2-3 weeks in Canada)
* less accessible child care (Canada is working on building out ~$10/day child care, it can easily cost ~$20k a year in the US)
* less affordable college tuition
* higher crime rates, higher incarceration rates
* lower minimum wage (canada’s is nearly double)
* at-will employment, termination without cause or severance (in canada you can be fired easily, but reasonable severance is required)
* reduced access to abortion (significantly in some states as of late)
