The father, more often than not, is unknown or absentee, either by his own choice to avoid the responsibility, or by choices related to his actions (i.e., he's incarcerated).
McDonalds isn't in China. It's down the goddamn street. So are any number of service jobs. Most of them, in a desperate attempt to attract workers are paying above minimum wage and offer benefits, and still the jobs go empty ...
There have been attempts in the US to sustain Welfare to Work programs. It doesn't work because the people who are entered in such programs have no desire to work, succeed, or do much to change their situations.
Employers in these programs are frustrated because their govt mandated "employees" don't get the hang of things like showing up for work when scheduled, or performing job responsibilties on those rare occasions that they do show up.
