What about $11, or $13.26, or even $9.64 with a COLA every year like the federal workers get? Do you really think every fast food worker is worth $15/hr, or even most of them? These workers don't have union protection. I'd think it would be much harder to keep a job at $15/hr. You'd better never call in sick or be injured or your butt is out the door: there will always be a line of people waiting to grab your job.

Here is my story. I was a fast food minimum wage worker for my first real job because I had no experience and that's all I could get. I worker there for about a year or so and I was able to get a call center for a few more dollars an hour. I worked that job for a year and I was able to find a better call center job for a better company that pays another $2 an hour. I proceed to work hard and perform well and get many promotions and raises over 2 years. So basically over a 4 year or so period I went from minimum wage to making 3 times what I was making. I worked hard, spent dozens of hours looking for and applying for better jobs while working and I never asked for a hand out.

You could work a job for a decade and never see that promotion as employees as a whole are less valued than they used to be, especially since there are more people than there are entry-level jobs. Not only that, but many jobs, including call center jobs are becoming obsolete due to serious advancements in AI. I’m happy that things worked out for you, but how is someone supposed to follow a path like that in 2019?? For what it’s worth, no I don’t agree with the $15 minimum wage. Still, your comment seems to come from a place that is somewhat devoid of the reality that many young Americans are living today.

@@punkgrl325 Retail and fast food, service industries, was never ment to create a "livable wage," it is where a business hired a person, mostly part time, to pick up extra work to free up employer to do other things. These were filled by teenage kids in high schools, college or someone needing extra cash. They are not ment to be a career. The career in those fields are limited. By creating this wage people lose the drive to go out and get a better paying job. I know when i was first married i could barely make it on fast food. With a wife and child i had to do something better. Went back to school got my degree and 20 years later getting ready to retire making that livable wage. I can't see paying a group of individuals $15 to fix a sandwich, and put it in a bag, or go look in the back for an item at a dept. Store. Americans have lost their will to succeed. They want someone else to do it for them. I tell my students all the time, "No one is going to hand you a million dollars because you are cute, you have to go out and earn it."

One thing places like Popeyes will do, if forced to pay 15$/hr, is to hire bona fide 15$/hr employees and eliminate the low-skilled, low-wage people. Another thing they will do is to invest in automation that prviously had too long of an ROI with labor at, say, 10.50$/hr. Now, at 15$/hr, those robot-like devices look much more attractive. Either way, those advocating for 15$/hr don't have the best interests of the low-wage people in mind.

Raising the min wage too much will destroy the economy. I also love how people always go to the "well the owner should cover it, or the CEO should cover it" WHY SHOULD THEY?

Also someone in a skilled trade earning $15.40 per hour, may decide to become a cashier at Target for $15 per hour, especially if they are unemployed.

I got $14.53 a hour for doing both back breaking work and sophisticated technical work in maintenance. Being in my 50's I was afraid I would burn out in 5 years doing it. This was about 10 years ago. In my twenties thru thirties I could of done this work easily but that is what I could find. When I was a teenager, I was also doing back breaking work such as mucking ditches and digging post holes for $1.25 and hour. Admittedly I was given room and board as well, but it does make me think of how ridiculously demanding some people are. My wages were non-negotiable.

I have a program I implemented with my business that will pay for any crisis situation that arises while working for my company. For example If someone has a car accident and they have no means to pay for it, my business steps in and pays for a new car for the value of the car they had. Most people are 1 small thing away from poverty. I take care of my employees to the core. I also provide them with 90% dental, health and vision paid by my company. My goal is to never say that any of my employees are sleeping in their cars homeless. I also always pay my employees more than what rent cost. I have been doing pretty well because my employees are highly loyal. Although I'm a medium sized company, I will strive to be a large corporation one day to change the way employers treat employees. As a business owner that is making quite a bit of excess money due to the labor of my employees, it is my responsibility to take care of them. If you cannot afford your employees, you should not be an employer. I know I am a minority in this world even more so because of the way i treat my employees.

just as your clients buy your things, you buy your employees labor. you also do a little bribing to work harder lol. in some sectors this is possible and others it is not. it is nice to hear that such a benevolent employer is doing well. good luck

I worked as a chemical tanker driver in Florida. We were paid by the load. We needed CDL w hazmat/tanker endorsement. Regulations were added to our industry consequently taking money out of our pockets. At the end of the week I saw that I was averaging $13.45/hr straight time. The point that I’m trying to make is we were paid less than $15/hr and the job had experience, license, and certification requirements. Why should an unskilled McDonalds employee receive $15/hr? I do agree that wages in certain fields are too low for an industry standard.

I used to work for AT&t and they were always looking for ways to cut the work force and work us harder. I was on a installation and repair crew and worked alone on evening shift and covered quite a large area all by myself.

No such thing as a minimum wage, but only wage that a business can afford to pay you. The minimum wage is deeply rooted in the eugenics movements of the earlier 20th century, which came about as a reaction to the demographic changes that were taking place in the united states and all of western Europe. the movement was racist and was completely hostile to free markets because they knew that this was the best way in which minority groups or people in general could succeed. Raising the minimum wage ends up hurting small businesses and deprives young entrepenuers/employers, who hire half of our total labor work force, from the incentives of starting their own businesses. It ends up hurting the most low skilled workers......... young black teenagers. If your value output only produces 8 dollars worth of goods and services, why would a business pay you 15 dollars ???? That would be charity work. 60% percent of the poor dont even have a job. So how is raising the minimum wage going to help them ??????

Average Popeyes's earns its franchise owner around $250k a year. Labor costs are a little more than that, so nearly doubling the pay of its employees would clear out all that profit. With kiosks and a 5-10% increase in food costs should more than cover payroll.. As a consumer I am not opposed to this price hike at all. And as a franchise owner you will get the benefit of being able to hire quality employees and your customer service and efficiency will improve making you more profit in the long run.

If they have a higher payroll, it drives up cost of operation, which drives up the profitable price... but not by enough to compensate for the higher salaries. In short, prices will go up, but salaries will go up more. Inflation is actually caused by the amount of money in circulation, not by whose hands it's in. If you look at the inflation charts, and compare it to minimum wage... well, inflation actually briefly goes down when you raise minimum wage, then returns to the usual 2%.

@CE-vd2px

Michael Dees Im actually learning finance right now. I was watching a 30 min video by a guy named (Ray Dahlio?) and inflation is caused by money in circulation but I believe it is also classified as prices going up as well. Or if more money is in circulation it drives down the value of the dollar which means businesses raise prices to get their value's worth. I know more money in circulation--> value of dollar less then prices go up. So i am wondering if the converse is also true: Prices up->value of dollar is less because somehow more money has to come into circulate by the fed somehow to manage our economy. I wonder if there is some hidden compensating variable in the cause and effect relationship of the converse. Obviously if things are more expensive my dollar is less valueable so i would think the converse is true in that example but I am wondering if logically(p-->q,q -->p someone could provide a counterexample.

I'm amazed by all these idiots that think if the cost of production goes up so will the cost of an item. It's simple companies will lost profits, profits that go to pay CEO's for example, big salaries and bonuses. Their pay will be reduced if the minimum wage goes up, and they're not running a charity so they don't care what they're employees need, only what is the least they can pay them to make themselves more money. Production costs determine what is the minimum amount needed before a profit can be turned, the buying market determines how much something costs and also determines how much profit something will make. The whole point is to keep costs low and prices high, not to keep things fair an balanced. They will higher no more employees than they need regardless of minimum wage going up or down. Machines will be used where it saves them money, and eventually machines will replace many jobs as they have been doing for the last 50 plus years regardless of how low minimum wage is. That's business.

Aten Akehnaton I'm surprised you think every CEO or company owner is rich af and can just accept to certainly lose profit. Small companies won't be able to handle the labor cost, not without boosting their prices and cutting hours. The big companies who could afford to sacrifice profit will find themselves surrounded by a market where their declining competition has to raise their price allowing them to raise theirs, but still under the competition. Sacrificing profit/item for a larger sale volume in a market trend advanrageous for them on the long run.

What's funny is they that could afford 20$ an hour and still make a million+ per year after taxes. In the end, the owners/CEO/Stockholders would rather just fire everyone and use robots, leaving those people jobless and unable to support their families. To those of you that say these workers are unskilled... have a little respect for the ones that truly put in maximum effort.

Peaceful Hooligan No praise should be given where it’s not deserved. No they cannot afford $20 an hour for their employees. I own 3 fast food restaurants. Profit is made by attrition. For Dummies like you that means selling a lot of 🍔 hamburgers for a small amount of profit. Just like Sam Walton , the founder of Walmart said in his book. If you sell one million cans of green beans for 2 cents profit per can the only way to become wealthy is to sell millions and millions of cans. Thats how he became wealthy. The more stores he has equals the more cans of green beans he can sell at 2 cents profit per can. You know absolutely nothing about finances. The more hamburgers I sell the more profit I make. Its all about volume. Not raising prices. The $15 per hour dream will not work! It’s actually very laughable!

Minimum wage should not be anywhere near $15 an hour. Hourly rate is only worth the value of the job itself. A cashier at Popeye’s is not worth $15 an hour. Seriously cannot wait when touchscreens and kiosks become more common than it already is now

If Popeye's CEO's salary were completely redistributed to its employees, it would be roughly a $1/hour increase for everyone. Her salary: slightly less than $3.9 million Popeye's employees: 1,790 $3,900,000 / 1,790 = $2,178.77 Most work years are computed off of either 2000 hours or 2080. @2000 hrs / year = $1.09 / hr @2080 hrs / year = $1.05 / hr This is nowhere near the $10, $12, $15, or the laughable $23 / hr min wage proposed by folks. The market simply cannot support those numbers, no matter how much we strip the CEOs of their salaries (who, by the way, are also employees hired by the corporation and cannot set their own pay, only negotiate it with the corporation just as anyone else can). Also, in case you didn't know, the average CEO salary in the US is not in the millions. It is roughly $241,000. Many, many CEOs earn less than six figures. Using "corporation" and "CEO" in blanket form ignores the multitude of small corporations, including local farmers, storefronts, etc.

In Dallas TX the fast food restaurants are doing remodeling. When they open up no cashiers but a computer to order from and pay by card only. The drive thru has a human and will take cash.

What we need is some modest inflation, that is where this min. wage increase is ultimately going.

They brought that here to Alberta. Result? Huge staff cuts and chopped hours. The 40 hour work week no longer exists here. It’s now 28 to 30

Does anyone else think that the main reason a lot of restaurants, those that bring in millions a year, dont want to pay their workers a living wage because the CEOs refuse to cut into their growth projections and sales quotas? Or take lower salaries themselves?

Thank you this is what economically people dont understand moving the minimum wage up that high is going to hurt everyone

oh and nobody comes out with a way to remove the workers because of a minimum wage. It takes longer than that. they were doing this stuff for many years.

Big labor union contracts are based off the minimum wage. When minimum wage goes up their contracts with their members goes up accordingly.

Anybody who thinks a mandatory $15/hr minimum wage has no effect on the economy is a damn idiot. Unlike the government, businesses cannot raise taxes to meet expenses, borrow with no intention of repaying, or print money without restrain. Businesses can only make money by providing goods or services which the consumers want, are willing, or able to pay. When businesses cannot pay the higher minimum wages ordered by the irresponsible government and still make a profit at their current prices, they must either raise prices or cut labor costs (layoffs, automation.) My prediction is ubiquitous robotics, both in service industries and in "returning" manufacturing sectors, and much higher unemployment.
