No. it would be more poor out of work living off the government. Which I think is the point.
??????????????????
How would raising the minimum wage be giving money to the "out of work"??? They gotta be....at work...to get minimum wage. And unless they are working for the govt, that minimum wage isn't coming from the govt.
Because raising the minimum wage increases the cost of labor. Increasing the cost of labor means there will be less people hired. Less people hired means more people will be out of work and looking to the government for support.
It's called common sense.
It read like you were suggesting the raised min wage would be welfare to that person recieving it.
Like I said...in the early 90's, min wage was 4.25 when I bagged groceries in college. Now, it's 7.25. Since then, we had the mid 90's and mid 00's economic windfalls.
You'll be fine.
