Re: Minimum wage, good or bad?
I read all of your replies, my thoughts on it,
Only minimum wage jobs or close to it in the northeast part of the united states, is in Retail.
Everything else is probbably atleast 2 or 3 dollars above it.
But in retail, usually u have the high school kids, working part time in the afternoon, or the old granny working full time in the morning.
They take these jobs because A) they are old and prolly have artheritis, and dont want to travel far... or B) have no experience doing anything at all, need it on part time basis, and need it to be flexible.
So i'm thinking these 2 samples of the population, would probbably still take the jobs even if they were getting paid less than minimum wage.
so i think minimum wage is good, cause if it wasn't there, those two segments of the population would get extorted by the corporations.
they would use them and abuse them. At least now they get some protection.
