“Where do kids get experience at the basics of showing up on time and doing a decent job?”

What does that have to do with the rate of pay? I suppose you could say the responsibility is on the parents, not the employer.

i read lettuce at $11.00 head in ca today

Without proof (weekly ad, photo), I call BS.

Following the rule of 72, at about 7% inflation, the National debt is halved in 10 years

LOL, artisanal water...

[coalminersson]

Also in n out. Excellent employees

In California, people without heads are a dime a dozen

More than half of states poised to cut jobs, increase total number of people on unemployment/welfare, expand automation, and decrease/eliminate customer service with minimum wage increase.

There, fixed it.

Doesn’t matter - inflation is rising much faster.

Exactly, which is why most places are already paying much higher.

i just read the headline, you can read the article for yourself

When I see Chick-fil-a on a resume it’s definitely a plus for the job candidate.

[Chode]

empty anyway

[Reno89519]

I agree, wage increases are not driving inflation. The lag in wage increases is more likely lowering inflation.

You don’t pay a kid to do a job for $15 bucks per hour unless that’s what the market rate is. State mandated minimum wages hurt businesses and those entering the job market with no experience

[Reno89519]

The only plus on a resume that I watch for is prior military service.

[refreshed]

Yay! More pay cuts for middle-aged people!

Yep but it'll destroy the purchasing power of the incomes earned by the middle class. We know that's not a problem for the Democrats.

Yep. McD’s has had a big sign out for a year now. Was $15 to start, just jumped last week to $16 “Plus Meals!”. Hundreds of ‘homeless’ in my city. Thousands of high school kids with (very) nice cars/trucks and smartphones. None of this makes any sense to my troglodyte brain.

[bert]

Wage inflation will lag but is a certainty. The banks holding all the various long term debt have the problem.

[Shadow44]

That was before they opened the border to the entire Third World and sent all the factories elsewhere.

[Tijeras_Slim]

And the entitled a-holes won’t work for that either.
