The reason we have minimum wage is because low skilled labor is least able to negotiate a wage increase. Employers know they have them at a disadvantage because they can be quickly replacedBecause some corporations and businesses with their power and might, will take advantage of the poorest, who will take anything just to work and have some income?that's probably true in most cases, but if paid only $7.25 an hour in some of the States, it is slave labor wages right now.There were and still are, a handful of States that have NO MINIMUM State WAGE.... employers, if it were not for the federal minimum wage, would be paying slave wages of $2 to $5 an hours....
.
No they wouldn't.
Employers pay what they need to pay to get staff qualified for the job they have in mind, and that is more than $2 or $5.
If the States had done their job controlling this from the beginning, there likely would never have been a reason to institute a federal minimum and hang on to it all of these decades?
Why is it "the job" of States to do this?
What makes a government bureaucrat more qualified to say what a job should pay more than the employer and the prospective employee?
And may discriminate based on color, race, religion, gender etc. and not workload?
If its rigged then how does bezos make that much? lolJeff Bezos makes $260 million a day while most of his employees barely make it by on under $30 K a year.
That is not capitalism dumbasses.
That's a fucking rigged up the ass system.

The market eventually adjustsWho this hurts, are those that were hired at $7.25 10 years ago, and busted their butts to get one promotion after another, more responsibility for the company and now earn $18 an hour.... and now would see the company hiring people with absolutely no experience at $15, and they get no increase that is comparable for the workload and responsibility they are carrying.... and no, the companies do not raise their wages with the minimum wage hike, in any kind of comparable way.
It would be better, if the congress and even better, the State legislators, simply raised minimum wage, a little bit, every year instead of this....
We have raised minimum wage in the past
Exactly so what's the point raising it?

yes, under normal circumstances it would.... but this is MORE THAN DOUBLING the federal minimum wage in just a few years.... This is NOT going from $6.25 to $7,25 over a couple of years.... this is 7.25 going to $15 so it will sweep up a whole lot of people that earned their way in to making more than minimum wage, like $12 an hour workers as well.... it raises all workers that make more than minimum, up to the new minimum...The market eventually adjustsWho this hurts, are those that were hired at $7.25 10 years ago, and busted their butts to get one promotion after another, more responsibility for the company and now earn $18 an hour.... and now would see the company hiring people with absolutely no experience at $15, and they get no increase that is comparable for the workload and responsibility they are carrying.... and no, the companies do not raise their wages with the minimum wage hike, in any kind of comparable way.

that's a whole nuther situation than what happens when you raise minimum wage a dollar or $2....
it's a catch 22 that Republicans in congress has caused by NOT allowing minimum wage hikes by year and putting it off for decades at a time....
the minimum needs to be $15 in most states for a living wage, but the fed min wage has been held back for so long, that it is near impossible to raise it to what it should be, without causing some major problems imo....
You need to get out more.If its rigged then how does bezos make that much? lolJeff Bezos makes $260 million a day while most of his employees barely make it by on under $30 K a year.

How about answering the question liar?You need to get out more.If its rigged then how does bezos make that much? lolJeff Bezos makes $260 million a day while most of his employees barely make it by on under $30 K a year.

If it's a federal minimum wage, then franchises and small businesses should get subsidies in order to cover any losses, at least at first. Another question is how will it affect other more demanding unskilled labor jobs, the ones that generally all pay above minimum wage already ?When I go to McDonald's it's to get breakfest which is good and the service at the two near me is good as well but the fact remains fast food worker is not a 15 dollar an hour job.

Flipping burgers at Wendy's shouldn't pay the same as construction or forklift operator in a big warehouse where they make $18 to $30 an hour( depending on the area )
To level the playing field.The federal government never subsidized franchises and small businesses before, when the federal minimum wage was raised. Why would they now?
Get ready for inflation to increase, and more automation.
All's these high minimum wage s do, is make life more expensive for the people who have been in the workforce for years.
If you are not a teenager, and you're still making the minimum wage, that's on YOU !!
Your lack of motivation is not my problem !
