Owning a business is incentivized more than being a worker in America. Too many (redundant) businesses means not enough workers to go around. Couple that with horrible pay and workers finally have some agency in their lives and the ability to turn down bottom rung, low paying service jobs.
There's also the notion that there isn't a worker shortage in America at all and the propaganda telling you there is comes from corporations looking to move the automation timetable up.
These positions were filled a just a few years ago with people who needed work to pay bills. Now every manager I talk to is burnt out from not being able to find warm bodies to fill these unskilled positions. These people didn't all just start their own businesses or fall off the face of the earth. Unemployment is at too far of a low to be paying them all. Somehow there is a large group of unskilled American getting money from somewhere.

Be careful about generalizing large populations of people. If you're looking for the truth, of course.
You'll be hard pressed to find anyone on this forum who understands this.
Just because it's not understood, does not mean it is correct or have value.
