more inflation coming with it.
“””However, local governments have been moving the needle over the years, which is good news for workers, given the cost of living is at an all-time high. “””
I wonder if they can figure out why everything costs so much.
Watch your tipping...tipping was a way to reward good service for workers who didn’t make much..now,they make a lot more...I am at least cutting back to 15%.
No word on how many people will be laid off, or have their hours cut.
The state of California pays fast-food workers $20 an hour
Kalifornia pays?? The employers pay, which is why so many people have been laid off in Kalifornia. Kiosks and touch pads have replaced the humans.
In all of this, the individual person learns and lives the real minimum wage: $0.00 per hour.
Our low-wage workers have been brutally abused since the ‘80s with a flood of illegals. There’s still a lot of room for their wages to grow in order for us to get back to the society we had and they deserve.
Agreed. Of course if the jobs don’t go away because Trump has deported a bunch of illegals, the Dims will lyingly give credit to their minimum wage hikes.
After taxes and all the other government gimmies, $18 per hour comes to about 525 a week. $2100 a month? I don't know about other venues, but in the southwest U.S. that maybe just pays the rent. Throw in utilities, insurance, car payments, clothing, health, repairs and food?
That's an ugly picture.
Your post is spot on. I would add h-1b did the same at the other end too.
Fast food used to be the exclusive domain of teenagers, part-time, living at home, after school.
It was never meant to be a ‘career’ choice...........
Wages have been stagnant for decades. It’s no secret. No one told you?
Why only $17.95 per hour? If they really want to make everyone rich, they need to raise it to $100 per hour.
My retirement check increased by $28 per month beginning today. yippee.
Dinner at McDonald’s!....................
Where’s the ‘Spit Nozzle’?.................
“Dinner at McDonald’s!....................”
For one!
Why do you think greedy employers in the U.S. hired illegal aliens by the millions? Low wages more profit for them. They helped drive all of this.
They can get $1,000 in food stamps, free health care, etc. Do you?
agreed and true, but people need to understand that if you start paying Mcdonalds workers $20 a hour, your big mack is going to be a lot more expensive.
