Does AOC know $15 minimum wage in states like Mississippi will put people out of work?

Whether the minimum wage is $7 dollars or $15 dollars won't make any difference in if or when a company introduces a robot or computer to take over someone's job.

With the unemployment rate at 3.6%, the robots are not helping any at this point. Massive labor shortages all over the place!

So your fiendishly clever plan is to put companies out of business and their employees out of work?

Name one company that went "out of business" because they paid their employees to much money.

The list is endless, you moron! If you pay your employees a set salary and you are not bringing in the revenue to pay them, what happens, dumbass?

If you need to rely on decades old wages in order to stay in business, you deserve to fail

Or stop skimming.

A Heritage Foundation analysis from 2016 estimated that a $15 federal minimum wage would wipe out 7 million jobs. Hardest hit would be workers, businesses, and economies in areas with low costs of living. (like Mississippi where cost of living is 87% of USA standard.
Mississippi cost of living is 87.8% Mississippi Cost of Living

Liberal activists demand a “living wage,” but the truth is that only a tiny handful of hourly wage workers make the minimum wage or less (4 percent), according to the Employment Policies Institute. On the contrary, a whopping 44 percent of hourly workers currently earn at or below the proposed $15 minimum wage.

Now consider what the $15 minimum wage would do.

For a restaurant that employs 10 minimum wage workers, a $15 minimum wage hike would cost them about $170,000 per year. If the restaurant currently earns profit margins of 5 percent, it would have to increase sales by $3.5 million per year, or an extra $67,000 every week.

But that is not realistic. The likely scenario is that they’ll either have to cut working hours or fire some workers altogether. Either way, most people are worse off than before.

Moving the minimum sage to $15 in mississippi would triple the average wage in state.

I see another liberal is bad at math/ economics and reality

There's an easy way out of all this regional cost-of-living hor$e$hit...

If the Feds are bound-and-determined to raise the Minimum Wager, then...

Compute a low-end national baseline for Minimum Wage, in some low cost-of-living region or another, then...

Apply the Federal OPM Locality Pay tables, with their percentage-increases by region vs. a national baseline...

For example...

* the national baseline = $12.00 per hour minimum wage
* the regional multiplier from OPM = 1.27
* the regional minimum wage = $15.24 ( 12.00 x 1.27 )

Puts more money in the pockets of worker bees living in high cost-of-living regions...

Puts a proportionally equal amount of money in the pockets of worker bees who live in lower cost-of-living areas...

Not exactly rocket science, and already in-play with respect to the pay for a couple of million Feds.

Why doesn't the states just do it as they have?

because the right wing complains about the cost of welfare.

Except when the welfare is for corporations.

Coporation welfare brings in jobs for all

They send the jobs overseas

Well, except the fact that those products and services now cost more because dumbasses like you raised the minimum wage! It is like a dog chasing its tail!

The price of a hamburger has more than doubled since the minimum wage was last increased over ten years ago.
The market adjusted to the rising costs of hamburgers. Nobody was fired

Wow where are all these big Macs that doubled in price?

.

You are eating them

I just love how they claim that raising min. wages will increase cost yet have zero problem with the increased cost of goods from tariffs from Trumps policies.

If you are paying tariffs, that is your fault for buying foreign goods.

I just purchased a large amount of flooring for my home. The type I originally wanted was made n China and is subject to the tariff. I just bought American made for the same price as the Chinese made flooring and got a vastly superior product for the same price. That is how tariffs are supposed to work. The tariff made it too expensive for me to buy Chinese. Had I known it was Chinese manufactured, I never would have wanted it in the first place.

Since most Chinese made flooring has been pulled from the market in 2015, you'd be hard-pressed (no pun intended) to find any.

She doesn't know, and wouldn't care if she knew she didn't know. She's on a roll. She's the 'it' girl of the day. This pitiful mouth with tits was probably pretty unpopular as a kid. She tries so hard to be so popular. Just watch what shit she pulls every time some else gets the headlines. "Look at me! Look at me!"

Walmart and other large retailers (Amazon) would love to see the Federal minimum wage raised to $15. That would drive many small, local businesses out of the market. Why do you think they let Bernie address their shareholders? Why do you think Bezos and the Walmartians are in favor of increasing the minimum.
And what exactly is a "living wage"?

 

[OnePercenter]

It may not be reasonable for everyone but it is hard not to hope for those to get at least 15 dollars

Amazon and Disney has minimum wage to 15 dollars

If McDonald's can afford to give its shareholders $7.7 billion, it can afford to pay all its workers $15 an hour."

Hard to argue that point

According to one study, U.S. taxpayers are subsidizing the low pay at McDonald's to the tune of $1.2 billion a year.

hard to argue that point

In-And-Out starts at 13 dollars

people

Target says that it will go to 13 dollars
Costco 14 dollars
Walmart and CVS 11 dollars

People need the money and it will allow them to give their kids more opportunities to succeed if they can manage their money

If the lower wage states do not keep up with the high end states then so be it.
There are consequences as young people will leave

But then again older people who have had some success and ready to move on will move back

Okay, a couple of things.

It's easy to argue with "If McDonald's can afford to give its shareholders $7.7 billion, it can afford to pay all its workers $15 an hour." You know how? McDonald's isn't paying those workers; the small business owner franchisee running THAT PARTICULAR RESTAURANT is paying them. McDonald's, the large corporation with the shareholders to which the dividends are paid, doesn't actually make and sell burgers, you know. It makes its money off of selling franchises and collecting rents and fees from the franchisees. So you're conflating two completely different sets of people there.

And artificially inflating the minimum wage doesn't give anyone "more opportunities", unless you consider collecting welfare because all the jobs dried up as small businesses closed to be an "opportunity".

Plus ignorant of business people don't seem to realize that raising to $15.00 means actually in one year for McDonald's 218,000 employees McDonalds' franchise owners
will pay nearly another $500 million in payroll taxes...i.e. 6.2% of $15.00 x 40 x 218,000 x 52 weeks.

McDonalds had no problem paying their workers the equivalent of $12.00 dollars an hour in 1968 when you adjust for inflation. Sales and profits were GREAT for McDonalds in 1968. THE BIG MAC was introduced to the McDonalds menu in 1968!

MAKE MCDONALDS GREAT AGAIN! Make sure their workers are at least making what they did in 1968, which was $12 DOLLARS and hour when adjusted for inflation!

Most McDonald's workers in 1968 probably knew how to work. Today, anything more than pushing a button is bound to lead to an emotional breakdown!

In 1968, most McD's workers were teenagers. Entry level jobs were great training for teenagers to learn a good work ethic. These jobs were never meant to enable someone to support a family.

Most, not all.

Off the top of my head, I can't, because REAL business owners - unlike you - aren't stupid enough to set wages based on what they "feelz" people should get, rather than what their job is actually worth to the employer.

How much do you pay someone that makes you all of your money?

What profession would that be?

He's got some odd notion that people who own businesses don't work themselves. In his "mind", they just sit back and drink martinis and smoke cigars lit with hundred dollar bills. Maybe take a vigorous swim in their money vaults, like Scrooge McDuck. And yet he wants us all to believe HE is rich and successful, despite his painfully, appallingly obvious lack of knowledge about the realities of it.
