The federal minimum wage is a joke.
You try living on 7-8 bucks an hour for a year and then get back to us.
Its you expecting to buy a house and raise a family with your burger flipping job thats the problem, not McDonalds.
Maybe people should look at those min wage jobs as starter positions instead and aspire to something a little higher.
Yep in 1976 when I started working at 16 it was $2.30 now in Michigan it is $9.87. 46 years and it only went up $7.57.
