Businesses raise wages according to what they can afford to pay and the skill level of an employee.Raising the minimum wage will benefit some but many will their jobs altogether to make up for the wage increase.AHAHAHAHA only a Kool-Aid drinking leftist would suggest living on subsidy crumbs while working 3 jobs is doing the poor a favor![]()
A bigger favor might be raising the minimum wage so one doesn't have to work 3 jobs or live on subsidies, right Dingbat?
Businesses cannot expect wages to stay the same forever. Plus, raising wages reduces costly employee turnover and increases productivity.
If unskilled employees make the same as a skilled employee guess who's getting fired?
There is already evidence of businesses closing down and laying people off in states where they've raised the minimum wage to an unrealistic level.
Who says unskilled workers must make the same as skilled workers? There is evidence to show that businesses actually save money when raising wages. They save it by not having a high turnover, which means they don't have to continuously train people for the same job. It also puts more money in the hands of consumers, which in turn is a boost to the economy.
You know what else saves money and reduces turnover, firing half the workers and off-shoring the jobs.
