My take on minimum wage is everyone needs a bench starting point so some boss doesn't force you into .50 an hour. As I stated a starting point not a stay at and live point unless you're happy there and don't want to raise your standard of living and earn more. Should force a minimum where is the incentive for improvement?
I answered but 1) I'm per diem worker... so I don't have an hourly wage. So I just picked one. 2) the questions were a bit loaded 3) I don't support a minimum wage. You don't want to work for .50 an hour... then do something else.
Done, thought the questions were biased and leading though. Two thoughts: *my first job was delivering papers and picking drop apples didn't even pay minimum wage; *has anybody seen a study of what proportion of jobs might be eliminate from an increase (eg outsourced, automated, other)?
Yes, some of the questions are biased and are intended to be so. Will explain later after the poll is closed.
Took it. I'm against raising minimum wage. I think that minimum wage should be a starting point, not a "living" wage. If you want more money, put in the effort and earn your raise. That's how I went from hourly mechanic to salaried planner in under two years.
