Can’t commit to one year? The problem might not be minimum wage, but you addiction to temp work.
Please understand that this is a feature, not a bug. If you can’t get a job you have to go n welfare and that is exactly where the socialists want you.
I believe one of the reason the left is pushing so hard for this massive increase in minimum wage is that the vast majority of the jobs created in the era of Obama are minimum wage jobs. We are trading good full time middle class jobs for part time and minimum wage McJobs.
Get on crack, smoke doobies, hang out, riot. It’s the new American way!
This is not new. When I was a grad student, work by Herbert Parnes and Belton Fliescher showed without a doubt, that increases in the minimum wage cause unemployment...and that was back in the 1960’s! Even worse, the brunt of the unemployment effects were borne by the very people the increase was supposed to help: the young, inexperienced, often minority, worker. Soon, the idiots in CA will be able to say: “I’ll make $15/hour...if I could just find a job.”
I predict that this will be the end of full service wait staff except for the high end restaurants. The rest will go to something like the old New York Automat, only this time they really will be automated.
70 Tries? I smell Bovine scatology.
In other news, the illegals are cleaning up with all of the under the table jobs that have opened up recently in Seattle.
Consider a career change, new car dealerships has sales, book keeping,paint and body,service and warranty, yard labor makin it all happen and we are talkin 5 10 or 15 year careers
The car business could give a crap bout PC
do your job and you become an asset
Well there is your problem. It is your assumption that you are better than others and that, somehow, you DESERVE the job. Bub, learn the hard lesson - You will never be paid what you are "worth". You will only be paid some value between two endpoints:
1) You will never be paid less than what you are willing to work for
AND
2) you will never be paid more than what it costs to replace you.
And that "rule" applies to starting positions, $15 / hour positions, and executive positions.
This is good.
In todays society, White males are to be punished.
This will teach them what it is like in a society where merit is rewarded.
On top of this, Washington state law now requires businesses to adhere to this minimum even for tipped workers, a rule that only six other states have on the books.
That has the effect of a $10.00 an hour laborer having his hash brought to him by a $15.00 an hour waiter. The former is not going to be overly generous in that scenario.
The government simply doesn't do this sort of thing very well, and I believe my plan to reduce government by taking it out of arenas in which it does not do very well is nearly foolproof.
“The fact that cities like Seattle, and now states like California, can freely experiment with economic policy demonstrates the virtues of our nation’s federalist system. However, our local laboratories of democracy aren’t always foolproof. Sometimes, they get it wrong.”
Sometimes? Every time would be a more accurate statement.
“I’m a young, educated, white male who comes from an upper-middle-class background.”
Educated? LOLOL! And you’re still dumb as a box of rocks. You’ll never understand it...you learned nothing but propaganda.
"Young fool. Only now at the end do you understand."
This is nothing new. Back in the late 60’s when I got out of the service, I would hear “overqualified for the job, you will probably be moving on.” They were correct. I was looking for a job to hold me over until I found a better one. I went through 5 jobs the first year I was out and the 6th lasted 44 years.
What do you call a graduate in Feminist Studies?
“Waitress!”
