The inflation-adjusted value of the minimum wage is 26% lower in 2004 than it was in 1979. In addition, comparing the wages of minimum wage workers to average hourly wages, we find that the wages of minimum wage workers have not kept up with the wages of other workers. The minimum wage is 33% of the average hourly wage of American workers, the lowest level since 1949.
To say that this is a problem of wage is silly as the minimum wage is much lower than it has historically been.
I'm interested in knowing what business you operate that causes you to think that a 29% increase in payroll over 5 years isn't a negative factor in job creation.
