They voluntarily raised the minimum wage to $15 bucks libtards are going to hate that!
The impact of this will be breath-taking. I have the same feeling as when The Gipper was in the White House. America IS great again! This is going to be so hugh the MSM cannot ignore it.
Now is also the time to look for a better paying job. Companies will be hiring new blood.
I'll bet you even money, a hell of a lot of "big" companies are suddenly going to become "very small". My last "raise" in 2017 was twenty cents an hour. The company I work for has 2,100 locations. And its stock price has gone through the roof since DJT was elected. Reading about the companies increasing their minimum wage to fifteen bucks an hour because of the new tax bill makes me laugh. I'll never see that kind of money from my employer. No way in hell.
They may not be paying out bonuses, but they will be staying in business.
True. I work for a company that does student travel. Very narrow customer base.
bs....the same rich people will get more money....the same people.....
I work for one of the largest nonprofit hospital chains....we never get bonuses and never will even though they have a ton of money to name baseball stadiums...I guess I’m not worth it either....
What’s wrong with Green Card holders? It is the legal path to citizenship. We spent 10 years and $15k getting ours. Legally. My son got his citizenship because of his military service. Myself, my wife and other son are eligible for citizenship now after having our Green Cards for 5 years. We work, pay taxes, obey the law, contribute to local charities, help our neighbors when they need it, love America. Why do you want to throw us out?
I’ve seen PhDs forced to train in their replacements; and people who can’t speak or write English covered for by managers where any US citizen who made such a blunder would have been fired on the spot.
My main point is that if you’ve got your Green Card, that is the legal path to citizenship, and why would you want to expel them if they’ve followed the law and gone through the process?
I don't! Welcome and tell your son pgkdan says thank you for his service!
Yes, if you’re well to do and paid $10,000 dollars last year, you may get a $750.00 tax cut.
If you earned $45,000 dollars last year, you may only get a $500.00 tax cut.
I know what you were doing there, and I agree.
That won’t happen until our schools do a better job of preparing young people for the jobs of the future, rather than the jobs of the past, or no jobs at all. Adult education has to happen to retrain all the middle aged people who have retired or gone on SSS because they have no jobs they can do and no hope. This is one reason why the unemployment figures seem so low. So many people have given up looking for work because they no longer have the skills for today’s jobs. Thus hiring a lot of trained foreigners.
Gee, I remember companies trading entire departments in a new technology at company expense. I guess the c-suite’s $1000/hr call girls and multimillion dollar bonuses are more important.
Did you mean trading or training? I think trading is what happens when they ship the department to tech savvy workers in Bangalore, India. I remember when production line workers in some US industries got $50k to $70k annual pay and that was quite a while ago. How much did the greed of motor company executives and severe shrinkage of workers paychecks lead to the economic collapse of Detroit?? You can always overpay your top executive when you can ship the jobs to a cheap labor country.
Training. I hate auto correct (I posted the last post from my phone.)
