I know first hand as I am debt free paying for a university education and now in my final year of studies.

To where some of his store may infact have to be shut down. Also I have worked full time and went to school. A deli isn’t all day she can take night classes and better herself.

Everytime politicians talk about increasing minimum wage I hear MORE TAXATION. during my working career. I have made more net income in the seventies & eighties doing manual than I, myself and people generally do today. Taxation is every increasing and more of it, with reduction in government services. Reduce the taxation,, that is what would benefit the accompany. More net cash relates to more spending > more spending relates to more services and jobs.

"When do we want to lose our jobs?" "Right now!"

*I kinda agree and disagree with both. I'll just give two of my biggest opinions for now to avoid a whole essay:* 1. I agree that minimum wage is for entry level positions but for how long is an employee a beginner? I've known many people first hand that haven't gotten a raise in years even though they've basically learned how to take care of a whole building by themselves. 2. The lady probably shouldn't have 3 kids when her job is washing dishes, a position literally anyone can take. She's could easily be replaced in no time and by someone younger who won't complain about having a family to take care of.

Corners can't be cut on safety or fixed cost and outputting lower quality products to save on money results in lower customer satisfaction, less return customers and inevitably, failure. Like it or not, employees are where most budget cutting will be done. People think higher wages are the end of all their problems, just makes job market more competitive and difficult, with fewer workers. It leads to lost jobs and positions being eliminated.

I have news for you: HIGHLY PROFITABLE industries with millions of employees depend on having an "unskilled" workforce - getting paid minimum wage or a little more.They could impossibly keep their HIGHLY PROFITABLE business model open with high schoolers. Have you been to a Walmart lately (lots of retirement age people there, no ?) Are there only YOUNG people working in McDonalds, PizzaHut etc. ? And WHO stacks the shelves and sits at the cash registers in reatil? Do you think these people get MORE than minimum wage ? Think again - or ask them IF you are in the U.S. since these industries (Fast food, retail, restaurants in general, mostly the service sector, farm workers too) depend on having millions of these "unskilled" workers, the "advice" that these workers should get a training and aim for better paying jobs does not make sense. As career advice for an individual that may be good - but it is NOT an ECONOMIC MODEL. These workers would also be forced to get into student debt (let's assume college, trade schools, nursing school etc would even be a fit for all of them). Then they would compete with the other graduates of such colleges that want qualified jobs, too. BTW many of those graduates NOW work in retail, restaurants, etc. - they may make more than minimum wage, but that is not what they hoped to get as career and that group ALREADY has trouble to find well earning jobs to pay off student debt. There are not ENOUGH wall paying jobs for qualified people as is. And if they all went into STEM or IT or medicine- there would be a flood of such graduates (more or less a good fit) which would again compete for NOT ENOUGH jobs in these professions. Not everyone is a good fit to be entrepreneur or to sell their own product of worktime (even if highly qualified. What makes you a good engineer or coder may stand in the way of being good in sales. And startups in STEM or engineering need an environment to flourish. If we talk about a large scale attempt. (Yes the military does fund a lot of projects, and there is Silicone valley, but not much for let's biology, or civilian technology). Never mind there is strong competition in Europe and Japan (engineering, machine building, components, ...) The U.S. has deindustrialized - there are jobs for lawyers (more per 1000 than in any other major country except for tax havens of course), there are some jobs in "finance" aka the lucrative, economically completely unproductive and dangerous Wallstreet casino (hotly contested jobs, they are paying well). There are not nearly enough engineering jobs in the U.S.if many of the arts degrees would be trained in that field. With their usual workforce eager to "become worthy of earning a living wage" and going to college or whatever - Walmart, McDonalds would go out of business for lack of staff. These businesses COULD then pay better wages to keep the staff which they need to make profits - or to attract them AGAIN ... Well, how about paying good wages right away and be done with it. Skipping the hassle with student debt - which also negates the fact that higher education is not a good fit for everyone, and it used to be that blue collars were able to make a good living as well).

Such a huge life insurance policy already proves how rare deaths are in the US military 7) No matter how long you serve, you get a lifetime pass for being a veteran which gives you a bunch of perks with this so much gov support, its really no secret why liberals love to serve in the military. The military is like a college fraternity, except you also get paid. Its a liberal's dream come true especially since youre more likely to get hurt on the street than while serving if any person ever complains or tries to show off that he is better than you just because he "served" in the US military, then that person is complete shit because he doesnt understand what real work is and how easy the military is compared to real life. Military is like day care for adults. It used to be completely different but today "serving" is really just simply choosing the easy way in life.

The core problem is that for about 10 years, especially during the great recession of 08, employers have used the "well the economy is bad so no raise this year" line, yet inflation didnt stop growing during that period. Now the economy has recovered, and employers are trying to get away with paying people the same that they did before 2008. That's ten years of stagnant wages yet increasing inflation. Thats why the raises are in dollars, not in cents. You are making up for 10 years of no raises.

Imagine this, you're in school and you miss 4 months or 5 months, then you come back and they give you so much work that you can’t handle it, so you get held back one year cause you can’t possibly finish. That’s how it is for small companies that just started a year or two ago. They start their business, then they raise up the wage $1 every year, that may not seem like a lot but if you add it all up it can cost them so much that they are forced to fire employees and eventually close down. You seem to think that because the economy is good then small businesses are thriving, no, that’s not the case. The lady says that rent goes up, prices go up, and minimum wage stays the same, but in reality some business profits stay the same sometimes even lessens while minimum wage goes up. Small business can’t afford that.

The advocates for the $15 minimum wage don't realize that businesses will adjust to this change. They'll reduce the hours of the lower skilled workers, give more hours to the more skilled workers (read: valuable) or have the shift supervisor and other management team members handle various duties INCLUDING what would've been assigned to the lower skilled workers. You'll also see the rise of kiosks and self-serve registers. Businesses will adjust to the forced changes in order to survive.

This has already happened in many Industries most notably banking. While Dodd-Frank regulation appeared to put a check on the big banks, all it really did was kill off many smaller banks who couldn't take on the extra cost. The same happens with the minimum wage.

Haha minimum wage only for entry level job everyone at the restaurant makes minimum wage Then they dont hire people because of no experience but said it was an entry level job

Yeah it's a huge difference, after taxes at 80 hours $10 is about 640. At $15 it becomes about 960. A difference of 320 every pay period. Now, I don't know how much these restaurants are paying in taxes and overall expenses, but assuming hypothetically he has 20 employees not making the wage or greater at this point, that's about an additional 12,800 the restaurant has to pay out a MONTH. Odds are, they have more than 20 employees, I wouldn't expect a table busser to make as much as a chef, and they already cheap out of their waiters, basically making it custom that each customer gives them part of their paycheck like they live off of some kind of sandwich commission. I like more money, but get real. Unless you're at a 4 or 5 star restaurant you can't possibly expect that much. Food service is the equivalent of sales but MUCH cheaper to buy. This will destroy small businesses almost entirely. You want better pay? Find a better job or START YOUR OWN DAMN BUSINESS. Then hand out all the $15 an hour wages you want, you won't last the year

Complete collapse of the Savings and Loan industry, There are none still in business. Near collapse of all banks in USA Massive negative impacts on the entire global market. Almost instant doubling of crude oil and gasoline prices. VERY NEARLY A SECOND GREAT DEPRESSION The only President in my memory where the "Misery Index" made the news...

it shouldnt be done like that, doubling it makes those problems you mentioned, but instead raise it few percent every year so it doesnt get that noticeable but still make progress. Yearly inflation of dollar makes things go up in price. rent is more expensive every year, food also, bills and health care every single year more and more expensive. as everything goes up, so should minium wage. you cant survive with same wage for 10 years and for that amount of time your rent health care food bills and everything else doubled in price, its not logical. here in switzerland minimum wage is 20 chf thats like 19 usd for lowest job possible, entry level jobs and bread costs 1.20 chf, milk is 0.95 chf oil 1.35 chf. Basically food is so cheap you can feed 5 people with one man working. there are other things that are more luxurious expensive as hell, but everything that is considered necessity is cheap as hell. Thats the perfect system and standard of living. There is no single homeless man in swiss, everyone have place to live. there are some homeless people that live on streets and travel around but thats their choice, they have apartment on their name and keys but they refuse to live in there. also there is no one that is without a job and isnt taken care of, unemployed are on social care and have basic income until they find a job. this system made swiss basically crime free, crime rate is so low one of the lowest in europe and in the world. I dont lock my house when I go for a walk, only if Im going somewhere further, no one ever tryed to break in or something like that.

mudza92 actually forcing the wage increases via the government no matter what has the exact same results. The cost is passed on to the customer. So instead of the cost of rent going up by a couple dollars over a few years, they go up even higher faster. Say you see the government is going to increase your business tax next year. Do you wait until then to increase the rent? No you figure the increase + 10% and start now. Just so you are prepared to weather the higher cost of doing business. Same thing on wages. Now you have a play by play blueprint of employment cost increases over the next 3 to 5 years. Do you wait and increase your fees to the customer? No. Because if you do you end up living on the streets. You take action now. So if originally you might have seen a price increase of 10% or less over 5 years, now you'll see 110% increase in less than a year.

you mean like slavery?

The real problem is the cost of rent goes up. It should be a cap on how someone can charge for a apartment or a house.

This woman don't think for a second, raise minimum wage and every thing else will go up in cost to, than those same people screaming give us $15.00 an hour will be crying we need $20.00 because 15 isn't enough,

everything goes up every year anyway, rent health care, food, bills, every year is expensive damnit. getting bigger minimum wage is most logical thing to do so those people can fucking survive and at least not be homeless. why are people in america against giving people decent wage for job they are doing. come here in switzerland and work for a month a job thats paid least amount of money thats fixed minimum 20 chf per hour, and with one month working you can buy enough food for 6 months I swear with my life. and yeah we dont have homeless people at all, one of the highest standards of living in the world because our constitution doesnt let companyes get rich by overworking and underpaying workers. workers have rights here and are protected by government not likein USA where you have that thing which seems like a modern era slavery. People working just to survive like they are living in 3rd world countryes its insane. I was in Iowa for 2 months and I saw some sick shit there Im never coming in USA again your country is really fucked up. to hell with american dream, concept created to make people work like animals in hope of having good life while they never even have a chance to pay debts and credits and mortgages, basically working like slaves their whole life so they dont become homeless. 2 choices modern slave or homeless. no option for progress if your family is not wealthy to begin with. if your father is a lawyer yeah you gonna have a good life, but if your father works in mcdonalds well good luck getting out of poverty ever in your life. maybe one in a thousand

When you really know it all, present some workable solutions instead of submitting nasty comments to help make you feel superior. Try that for a change.

I used to be able to shop for less than $100 for a week's groceries now it's $250 a week so these kids can get minimum wage $15

$15 minimum wage amounts to $30,300 a year to flip burgers or wash dishes. And that is straight time - no overtime.

The higher the wages, the higher the prices for everything, and the more people get fired! Anybody can flip a fucking burger! What's the point of getting a useful job when everyone can just work at McDonalds and have the same life style? Why even join the work force when I can just have my dad go to work and pay for everyone? Or I could just live off welfare that comes out of the pockets of hard working people! It's preposterous!

Frosty Ghost but like as a 15 yo I make more money a week than they do a month. It’s about opportunity, are you going to sit around and do nothing about your financial state or are you going to get out and take a risk and get rewarded

I was for the $15 Minimum Wage, but I'm not oblivious to the evidence; you guys were right. The effect of the increase in the minimum wage has meant there are; 1) Fewer services jobs; both as more services are automated, reduced, and wiped out entirely by closure. 2) Fewer manufacturing jobs; as these get sent overseas at higher rates. 3) A year-on-year decrease in the total salaries paid to employees as a whole. 4) Fewer opportunities for low-skilled workers to earn money. 5) More unemployment at the lowest level for the poorest and least educated people. 6) A year-on-year decrease in the number of restaurants and cafes; there is a high turnover in this industry but there is an actual decline for the first time since the 1920s. And one often underreported problem; 7) Fewer opportunities for people to start and scale their small businesses, as the cost of employing someone is too great. Guess I was wrong.

Yes, the minimum wage was intended for the entry level worker out of high school. So what's your excuse for keeping experienced workers that have been with you for years at minimum wage? Seems to me if you were increasing wages at a fair rate on your own, the state wouldn't have to step in.

Nobody keeps workers who have held their job for years at the minimum unless they really suck at it. This whole idea of "people deserve enough to support themselves" is ignorant of the economic reality. An employer can't pay you more than you are worth without going out of business. Instead of crying to your employer about your wage, spend your energy developing skills and making yourself more valuable to the business. That will get you raises and promotions.

If you can't pay your employees, work harder than moving a cake two inches.

Mike Webster Hey Mike! Promoted to what position? If everyone in the company works hard, do they all get promotions, and big fat raises? You are living in a dream world. The American Dream world. Work hard and everything will work out just fine... Employers (many, if not most) will pay the least possible wage to ensure the most profit. THAT is how capitalism works! There are exceptions, of course, but ask around and find out how well the average American worker is doing now, and how much that condition has improved since the 1980s... Average wages have stagnated while PRODUCTION HAS RISEN, and top executive compensation has increased exponentially in many cases... Work hard and get promoted... That's funny.
