People just don't understand the fact that when Minimum wage increases everything else goes up. Now I am not saying that the minimum wage should not be increased but the effects of doing so will in FACT cause empoyers to reduce their costs in some form or another.
i think the wage has been behind for many years. only in recent years have i heard of the wage going up. it was down below 4 dollars for a very very long time. trying to get by on 4 dollars an hour now is impossible.
4 X 8 = 32 dollars a day. 2 days to fill the tank in some cars.
