What are some careers in today’s economy that you feel should be paid better wages?
Ashlee Nabors, Washington, D.C.
Teachers, nurses, retail workers, and servers. They put up with so much and get paid so little.
L. Aarons, Washington, D.C.
Teachers, nurses, and healthcare workers in general, and garbage collectors.
Maria Glass, Washington, D.C.
Any job that keeps our society viable, such as garbage collectors, food pickers, and truck drivers.
Annette Wright, Atlanta
Teachers need at least double the pay, if not triple their current salary.
Amy Palfrey, Suffolk, Va.
The way the economy is looking right now, all of them, but my number one answer is teachers and mental health care workers.
