Should min wage be raised to $15 an hour nationally?
Raising the Federal Min Wage to $15 was taken out of the last stimulus bill as it failed to get the votes needed for passage. There are several arguments for both sides for raising it. This video does a good job breaking down this economic tennis match. Which side are you on? Raising the rate to $15 or keeping it as is? #jobsearch
What about those of us on SS. Are they going to raise SS income too? Because if they don't the cost of living increase is going to bury us!
I am for the raise, it need to be at least $15 long time a go. The cost of living is up. People need to able to sustain, but they can not. This is like modern day slavery... it got to stop!!!.
$5 to $20? Your analogy of the hamburger makes about as much sense as the rest of your argument.$15 is nothing per hour but it will give hope to so many hard working people. If you can’t pay $15 , maybe you shouldn’t be in business.
I am for raising it to 15 dollars an hour
Ask yourself is how would you feel working 40 hours a week making less than $15 an hour and living beneath the poverty line? Now add to this the demand imposed on an individual struggling to feed cloth and shelter their loved ones without health insurance or any type of supplementary income (SNAP benefits) because they make too much to be considered poor "just economically challenged."
Yes, because with the new WH Admin. We have to fix a new tax rate for the very richest who already owe the IRS over a quarter of a trillion dollars that hasn't been collected including the Trump family.
How will this affect those people who started at $10/hour ten yrs ago, and received reasonable raises totaling about 50 % of original rate? They now make $15/hour. Their comparable rate would need to go to $22.50 per hour to be equitable. Does anyone think this will happen?
Good thought but then prices may raise
As the guy at the end pointed out, it should've been raised 15 yrs ago. At this point, it should be more like $18/hr.
I'm for increasing the federal minimum wage to $15. High tides lift all boats.
