Georgia Carter was ecstatic when she landed a job at a KFC in Richmond, Virginia. “I went to my boyfriend and said I have a job,” Carter told WRIC. “I am an active member of society. I was so happy.”
“You have got the job,” Carter recalled the manager saying. “‘I am going to start you out at $7.50 an hour. It is yours. We are going start you training on the computer tomorrow.”
