And those towns have a lower cost of living. Central government mandating the same wage across the country without regards to the cost of living variations is stupid.
Exactly. It’s like when these liberal lunatics want American wages for employees at a textile facility in Singapore. They don’t realize that by paying 1000 employees in the city $30,000 a year when the average annual wage is $2000 a year, it will absolutely demolish the local economy.
The minimum wage should be zero. When my kids were starting out, I was astounded what they were doing for work and getting paid $7/50 an hour for. The beginner jobs aren’t worth that and certainly aren’t worth $15.
