Ive been wrestling with this for awhile what it boils down to is that there sinply isnt enough jobs for everyone at tbe i tersection of skill and ability.
At the very least there neexs to be a taise in minimum wage because some people sinoly have to flip burgers as their main source of income. Let then live.
They can go and learn to do something useful - just like the rest of us did. Jobs like that were never meant to be careers that support families. These are low end service sector jobs that require little to no real skills. A wage should reflect economically how much that labor is worth. $25 to serve coffee or flip burgers is ridiculous.
I just picked $25/hr because that seems to be the figure mostly chosen for minimum wage goals in several cities. It was only meant for generalization purposes.
There are ways to go to school and improve one's skill sets. If there is the will, a way can be found. Many of us found a way. I went to school using grants and small scholarships until I had to take out loans. Yes, I struggled, but I was determined and I don't regret it.
Paying someone a higher than normal wage for a job requiring low skills makes no economic sense and in the end, there will be less of those jobs available because companies will turn to other means to bring their bottom lines into balance. Personnel is still the largest expense for most businesses. Those types of employment were never meant to provide wages that would support families. The government trying to force employers to shoot themselves in the foot in order to comply with social justice targets only disrupts the job market. If we did not have all of these low skilled uneducated people invading our country, this would not even be an issue.
The idea that someone that works at a fast food place should expect a living wage is preposterous.
It should be a job for people going to college or trade school, also for retired old ladies (they work the hardest) who want something to do.
