My firefighter/emt job I’m at 54 hours a week starts at $41k a year. That’s after getting all the certs and all the ongoing training and emt refresher classes etc. Most of us work two jobs.
Biden spent roughly a trillion dollars of increased-corporate-tax money on domestic manufacturing, and armed the NLRB to meaningfully fight for unions which enabled them to backstop a lot of the union gains that have suddenly magically happened over the last few years. There was actually a court battle because he fired the corporate hack who had Trump put in charge of it on his very first day.

This is what I think about every time the soundbyte about Biden creating 16,000,000 jobs is played. How many of those are second or third jobs?
Probably most, because nothing meaningful has been done to curb inflation, price gouging on rent, and progress toward living wages.
Interesting factoid: if those jobs were created by Trump they’d all be 1st jobs and pay enough to house and feed a family of 4

LOL
He’d certainly frame it that way.

Firefighters needing 2nd jobs has existed for a whole lot longer than any politics has screwed shit up.
