States with higher minimum wage gain more jobs

Many business groups argue that raising the minimum wage discourages job growth by increasing the cost of hiring. A Congressional Budget Office report earlier this year lent some support for that view. It found that a minimum wage of $10.10 an hour, as President Obama supports, could cost 500,000 jobs nationwide.

But the state-by-state hiring data, released Friday by the Labor Department, provides ammunition to those who disagree. Economists who support a higher minimum say the figures are encouraging, though they acknowledge they don't establish a cause and effect. There are many possible reasons hiring might accelerate in a particular state.

People will work if you pay them more. More money means bills are paid, less debt, and more put back into the economy.

Where does the money come from that they're paid?
Democrats should not be allowed to vote.

After the damage Republicans caused the country over the last 20 years, Democrats are all that's saved us.
Uh, do you want examples? There are lots.
al Qaeda is jealous of the GOP. They tried so hard to damage this nation and the GOP does it for fun with hardly any effort.

Democrats are responsible for racial segregation; unstructured families and the subsequent social demise; failed economy due to green energy fascism; failed foreign policy; and welfare mentality (like forced minimum wages) that inhibits economic growth and encourages social apathy. That's just a few.
So, where does the money for your minimum wage hikes come from? You still haven't answered. Until you supply the correct answer you should not be allowed to vote.

if full of shit doesn't come to mind, you need to be told you're full of shit

RWs prefer that people be on welfare.

Better yet, let them starve.

Hmm, which administration has seen the highest growth in government dependency in history? Yup, that would be the Democrats.
They need to because that's the only way they can attract votes.

you say the stupidest shit ... here you have the republicans clearly distroyed the banking asystem and causing jobs to fall by the millions .by deregulating the bankings systemand ... then when we dems try to turn it around your best thing is to blame government dependency on democrats ... you have no Idea whats going on ... but you do have the ability to blame republicans wrong doings on democrats.....

No you have it mixed up idiot. The Leftytoons want everyone on welfare.

who caused people to go on welfare??? how about republicans causing the banking system failed causing beople to go on welfare

 

[PredFan]

Anyone who blames the GOP for what happened to our economy isn't smart enough to be arguing about it. There were many things that came together to cause things to go south, one of them was the Democrat Congress ignoring Bush's warnings 5 times.

Yeah I saw that but I take this and what's going on in Washington as signs that you are not loosing jobs..

Like I've said. Everyone whines about inflation till it comes to wages.

I take it to mean they really don't know what the impact is. The impact of rising the minimum wage nationally will vary from state some positive some negative.

The prime reason being the states showing the most recovered jobs are the ones that lost the most in the first place.

Lol but what it ultimately proves is that raising the wage doesn't kill jobs.

When will you cons sack up and admit raising the wage is a good thing? No one is suggesting we raise it to $30 an hour. 7.25 is just immoral and oppressive.

First off it proves no such thing because relatively few people are min wage earners. I'd be curious to see what happened to min wage positions in those states, not overall employment.
Second, why is 30/hr too much and 7.25 immoral?

Ah of course as usual I have to explain things to you.

1) Raising the wage raises anyone's wage that was below it to begin with.
2) 7.25 is way below the rate of inflation. To keep up it would have to be at least double. Plus, at 40 hours, no one can live off of 7.25. People can't even live off 10. Also, less people would be on food stamps.

First it doesn't prove that as the part I cited clearly states second I'm not against raising the minimum wage just doubling to 15 a hour.

Wow another republican who doesn't know the meaning of words in the english language.

Socialism isn't private money being paid to workers. That's capitalism.

This has nothing to do with public tax dollars. This is private dollars from private business paying their workers a wage that's enough to live on without having to run to the government for money just to be able to sustain themselves.

What you republicans want is socialism. You want wages for private business to be very low and for tax dollars to make up the difference.

If you really hated socialism you would support a higher minimum wage so that people wouldn't qualify for government assistance.

You've got that conservative projection down to an art form.

Come on dude. Think about this. There was job growth. If raising the miminum wage was harmful, there would at least be no change to the economy. Instead, there was job growth. Even if other factors are at play, there would be a negative effect somehow. Without identifing those possible factors, it's safe to assume there is no harmful effect.

 

[Mr Natural]

Minimum wage has been raised many times over the years and not once has it caused the economic meltdown so feared by the righties.

 

[DGS49]

Starting that paragraph with "Many business groups argue..." is a preposterous viewpoint.

Imagine saying, "Many astronomers argue that the earth revolves around the sun..."

Increases in the MW DO discourage job growth. There is no "argument" about it. The economy in some places may be strong enough to overcome the negative effects, but the effects are not subject to debate.

There are pockets of the country where the federal minimum wage is meaningless because no one will work for that rate anyway.

Libs uniformly fail to come to grips with the question of where the money (for increased wages) comes from. They presume that every business owner has an infinite capacity to pay wages that are dictated by others. As HRC so eloquently put it many years ago, "We can't be responsible for every undercapitalized pizza shop in America."

This from a person who has never had a Real Job in her life.

How many times has it been doubled over the years which is what more than a few are calling for? Raising the minimum wage which I don't oppose is one thing doubling which I do oppose is another.

 

[Camarozz]

I live here, and there are reports already of side benefits falling to the way side, and jobs are not being filled as people leave.

Look up whats happening to Sea-Tac, there are reports of this $15/hour thing NOT WORKING. Who wants to do more work as jobs are lost by attrition? Who wants to lose side benefits because that money is now being funneled to your pay check? People there are not happy about "the raise".

Liberals want to take from those who have more and give to those who have less for no other reason than "fairness" and "fair share". They tell their dumb ass base they are entitled to a share. I say when the bunch of gutless lazy liberals grow a pair, start their own business, risk their own money and future, make the personal sacrifices required to start and grow a business then they can feel free to give part of the business to their employees if they choose. I seriously doubt that will happen. Employees here's your paycheck, that's it now get back to work until next payday or feel free to go work some other job.
