Reality sets in for Oregon governor

[SassyIrishLass]

Any successful business pays more than minimum wage for anyone doing the job. Otherwise people will leave. Many jobs are low skilled and starter wages is good for the business because they can't hire people to lose money and it's good for the person to begin life in the work force.

You thinking it's a good idea for businesses to shut down instead proves you know nothing about business, economics or the job market.

The notion that there all these people trying to raise families on MW is a total fraud.

It's irrelevant.

It;s highly relevant.... we're talking about for the most part unskilled kids.

So? I don't think we should punish kids WILLING TO WORK in this day and age with shit wages.

Depends on what they are doing, flipping burgers and stocking shelves is worth 7$ max. Digging ditches more like 10$ so and so forth...
The progressives fail to understand some jobs can only be paying so much...
They can't be running people's businesses and expect any success... Because career politicians and their federal government have less than zero credibility in these areas...

Exactly, you get what you pay for. A business isn't going to pay an unskilled worker top dollar, there are far too many unskilled workers to choose from

A kid flipping burgers is still at home. His paycheck is 100 percent disposable income.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

In the UK 70% of people on minimum wage are women.And for each year a mother is absent from the workplace her future wages will reduce by 5%. Might be different in the US.

All the more reason to have a minimum wage.

And there is that..... Christ.. MW hasn't been an issue in my life, shit, was it ever? I made a couple bucks an hour in HS cleaning kennels.... it all went to dating and weed. I thought it was awesome.

Wrong, all the more reason to have a skilled workforce.. not a bevy of unskilled robots demanding the pay of their skilled counterparts.

It's econ 101.

There is a minimum wage. They pretty much get paid what they are worth

So? Does he do a different amount of work than the 30 year old woman next to him who's working the second job in her household to help pay the bills? Ever hear of the 2 earner household?

No it's 3rd world barbarity. Something you seem to be an expert on.

 

[paulitician]

Greedy old white Republican dude is very busy threatening and intimidating all those wanting to help American Workers out. They'll say or do anything to keep their slaves. Sorry to see the Governor roll over in the face of bullying scare tactics. It's the greedy hateful white dudes who run the Republican Party, that almost make me wanna support Bernie Sanders. Maybe we need an extreme Socialist/Communist in there to kick some greedy white Republican ass.

I mean lets face it, even $12 an hr is chump change in today's America. Sure won't get ya much these days. The current U.S. Minimum Wage is a very sad embarrassment. We, as the richest nation on earth, should be able to do much better for our workers. It's absolutely shameful what the greedy white Republican dudes have been allowed to get away with.

Why on Earth is a 30 yo woman only able to get a MW job? Sounds like THAT is the problem. You have it ass backwards.

They get your tax dollars to make up the difference. That's the laugh here.

But no business can stay in business have'n career politicians telling them what to pay in wages. Our fucked up government is proof of this.

Should I post my picture of a 1000 people lined up for 100 Walmart jobs? Or can you figure that out without a picture?

Barbarity?

Now that's rich.

Here's your so-called "barbarity":

• Disproportionately young: 50.4% are ages 16 to 24; 24% are teenagers (ages 16 to 19).
• Mostly (77%) white; nearly half are white women.
• Largely part-time workers (64% of the total).

You all controlled Congress and had the WH from 2009-2011....just saying.

What on Earth does that have to do with demanding $15/hr MW for kids working at Burger King?

So what? Who issued the moral license to exploit young people?
