You understand that if someone in a low paid job gets a better paid job, the low paid job does not disappear in a puff of smoke? That the proportion of people in low paid work is a function of political decisions as to what the economy should look like?
I mean, the headline is fucking ridiculous (we don't need anything like 10% of car sales to be new cars). But so is giving careers advice as a solution to the high prevalence of shit pay.
