Employers pay wages comensurate with the skills of the worker & the demands of the job. NO experience? Not starting at the top.
NO EMPLOYER should be forced to pay wages to support the LIFE STYLE these kids are demanding today.
Just got out of college? Applying for a salesman job???
I am NOT going to pay you a much higher starting salary just because YOU have a brand new BMW to pay for & insure. Of to pay for you cell phone bills & vacation plans in South American Andes.
You haven’t proven to me you can sell anything-—much less show up for work on time, consistently, with a proper attitude & proper grooming and hygiene.
Wages are important but you can also lure high quality workers with excellent working conditions.
That means allowing them to work at home (no long commute) where feasible.
That means a great boss who treats them with respect and makes a commitment to fully training them and helping them improve.
That means making the workplace a “no b&^%s&^% zone”—in a thousand different ways—the focus is on getting the job done correctly and not the many possible distractions.
Employers pay what ever the market rate for labor is in any given location.
