Increased wages make the job more appealing. The results are the same either way.
So you're saying the CEO of McDonald's is lying?
No, because when you raise the minimum you get stuck with the people worth less than the minimum wage. Here you raise wages and benefits to attract a better level of employee.
Huh?
That is a stupid argument. So somehow employers are able to better scrutinize potential employees when they voluntarily raise the wage but are " stuck" with worthless employees with a MW increase?
That's a special kind of logic.
They attract a better level of employee when they raise wages paid in the absence of a general increase due to MW increases mandated by the government.
Why is that so hard to understand?
Because it makes no sense whatsoever.
They always have control over who they hire. Increased wages make the job more appealing. The results are the same either way.
it makes it more appealing to someone who thinks their worth is at that wage level, and has the skill to back it up. If they don't have the skill, the company will hire someone who does.
When you inflate wages via government action, that mechanism is removed.
Ridiculous nonsense.
Gotta love how the lefties twist everything to fit their agenda....
This is more realistic
Raising wages = less employees
Raising wages = less hours worked
Raising wages = raising prices on items sold....
Does anyone think forcing a company to raise their labor costs will not change anything?....
So you're saying the CEO of McDonald's is lying?
If he was being truthful, he wouldn't be installing kiosks in some of his new restaurants.

Of course it makes the job more attractive, but it can attract low quality labor, too. Meaning the results are not always the same. You can hire every Tom, Dick or Harry you want, but that doesn't necessarily mean you'll get quality work out of them.
So how come you think every employee is worth $15 an hour? Just because you say so? Just because they say so?
I said nothing about $15.
The employer hires who they wish. That never changes.

“The improvements we made to our compensation and benefits package to employees in U.S.-company operated restaurants, along with expanding Archways to Opportunity … have resulted in lower crew turnover and higher customers satisfaction scores,” Easterbrook said.

LOL, leave it to gub'mint worshipers to equate a private company increasing employee compensation voluntarily with government price controls on the labor market, that's like saying that if removing a brain tumor yields positive results it proves that removing the whole brain is a good idea.
You seem to forget that the argument from you people for ages has always been that a minimum wage increase would cripple the fast food industry.
Do you not grasp the difference between an employer competing against other employers to keep good workers by raising wages and offering benefits...and the government passing legislation that artificially sets wages?
Sure there's a difference. The government should set a minimum wage.

"Increased wages make the job more appealing."
You were advocating for that, were you not?
The employer hires who they wish. That never changes.
They can just as easily let those they hire go just as easily. You live with this notion that things will somehow, magically, still be okay when you start hiking wages for menial jobs such as burger flipping or saying "hello, welcome to McDonald's, may I take your order?"

Once again you confuse opposition to government mandating of something with opposition to the actual item in question.

that's their stock dirty politics. blame everything on Republicans that could have been done without anyone at anytime, but since the Democrats used this as another way to play their base for fools and to cause more Division for votes. we get article like the one posted with claims it's was all do to a political party.
If you have a beef, take it up with him.

"Increased wages make the job more appealing."

I was not as evidenced by no mention of it.
My father taught me this phrase "pretend to Payne, I pretend to work". It really bothers some folk that a burger joint worker makes a decent wage? WHO CARES if someone is making a good wage? Why does that bother you so much? Jrez we should be happy someone is doing better. Instead some turn to hatred against the workers. Only here in america. And we say we are so great. Meh, not so much.
