A higher minimum wage increases unemployment for Americans; a reduction in foreign labor increases unemployment for foreigners.
———————————
If it wasn’t for all the foreign trash labor coming into the US and forcing Americans to work minimum wage jobs, I would be against a minimum wage increase.
But since I’m one of the affected ones (locked out of tech - and most teaching, as universities are increasingly preferring foreigners and there is no H1B visa cap in education - due to the Indian mafia), I welcome any increase, as only jobs I qualify for outside of tech and university teaching are those part-time minimum wage jobs without benefits.
“only jobs I qualify for outside of tech and university teaching are those part-time minimum wage jobs”
The higher the minimum wage, the less likely you are to get one of those jobs.
