Food I’m paying probably 300% more Based on my calculations with cost of living , the min wage should be, at least, $25/hr to be able to pay your bills Federal minimum wage in 1992.was 4.25 an hr Nope. I was making $11-hr and quit my City job to go backpacking in Europe I had 3 weeks to spare and took a min wage job. $5.50/hr So you made more than minimum..Google is your friend..fed minimum went from 3.35 in 1991 to 4.25..remained there until 1997 where it went incremental to 4.75 then 5.15..and I'm old enough to remember..graduated HS in 1993 and started working Last Edited by monkey4truth on 06/21/2022 11:16 AM Stand up and speak for truth..even when it's not popular.. |

Makes no sense. Do you realize there are several consequences for raising the minimum wage? Here’s a few examples: Quoting: Say no to Minimum Wage! 74642967 1. Minimum wage is now $20 an hour, you are an employer and you have two candidates in front of you. A blue haired 400lb Cheeto eating video gaming 22 year old with no formal education, or a well dressed, manicured, out of work computer programming 60 year old college grad, white or black male or female. Who do you hire? Raising minimum wage puts the young folks out of work; it’s been proven over and over again. The folks fussing for higher wages price themselves right out of a job. 2. Minimum wage is now $20 an hour. What do you suppose Wal Mart will do if you just doubled their payroll costs for about 75% or their workforce? Just eat the cost? Nope, they will replace you and your friend with more reliable workers, lay-off workers and hire robots, reduce working hours, increase costs of their products across the board. How does this help anyone looking for minimum wage jobs? Don’t get me started on how this exponentially increases benefit costs (Workers Comp, 401K matching, etc). 3. Minimum wage is $20 an hour. You own a Mom and Pop hardware store; one of two left in your State. You’re looking to hire someone at $15 an hour, which is killing you because you can really only afford paying $12 an hour. Guess what, no candidates will seek you out as an employer because you are not willing to pay high wages for low skilled labor. You’re forced to work late, pick up shifts beyond what you’d normally work, shut down the store due to lack of help, close your business because you’ve reached burnout and bankruptcy. Tell me again how raising the minimum wage would help the US? The minimum wage is not designed to subsidize folks’ standard of living. It is designed to prevent employers from only paying $1 an hour to shovel coal or bust rocks. Think about it, if you don’t only want to make $10 an hour for the rest of your life, what do you do? Wine about how no one ever helps the little guy? No, you educate yourself, learn a skill/trade, you adapt, get two jobs, you survive. Forcing companies to pay you more is just like asking the Govt to pay off your student loans. No one is going to help you, you have to help yourself. |

User ID: 82695669 United States 06/21/2022 11:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Minimum Wage was never meant to provide adequate living conditions, it is a bare MINIMUM, a starting point for you to work hard, get promoted, get pay raises, etc. Teenagers working at McDonald’s, that’s what it’s meant for.

Society is a pyramid. What wage slave people need to do is 1) violently protect their borders and 2) stop working for minimum wage. Then the quality of life will improve for the wage slave. But those two things can't happen because 1 is a "far right" platform and 2 is a "far left" platform. Lol. |

The jobs from millwork were about the highest during the decades before that time. When money was backed in gold and silver you had lower prices. It stayed relatively stable; it was not perfect but so much better than now. Slave labor is what it has become, when you wage doesn't keep a roof over your head and food in your mouth it is slave wages. This goes back to the parole release program at work, and how more than one have openly omitted they were leaving and returning to crime. Even at $17 in Ohio they can't keep a weekly hotel n eat.
