If they can up the minimum wage without messing with the cost of everything else, then I would hope they can get it. The problem that I see would be the increase of average wages along with the minimum wage. That could see the increase in the cost of living, which would be right back to square one. I would think it would create more inflation, but I guess I could be wrong.

minimum wage goes up every year I remember when I started working at Burger King it was getting paid $7.31 and when I left I was getting paid $7.67 and now for florida its $7.79 and at the beginning of 2014 its suppose to go up to $7.93. Its different for every state though

Do you really think going to college is the deciding factor if your a piece or crap or not? Wow. Kids after you get into the real world you will have much to learn...

This entire thread simplified into one sentence.

I was reading the first few pages of people "OMG goto college or you lose at life" Im sitting here making 28 dollars a hour, no college at my belt.. Good luck making that kind of money right out of college I don't care what degree you have..

Ha ha, my half-sister went to college to become a dental hygienist. It took her two years to go to community college and two years to get her associates. Where do you specifically work as a career?

I'm not surprised, they're great fields to work in.

I work for a tribal gaming commission for a casino. just behind the scenes stuff, collaborating with surveillance and security.

OP is 150% correct. You want more money, you earn it. I dont care if you cant afford it, you find a way. Complaining about not making enough money and not doing anything about it is basically quitting. And quitters dont succeed. End of story. Hes also right about the value of the dollar. Minimum wage goes up, value of the dollar goes down. It takes lets effort and time to earn that one dollar. So businesses raise rates because that one dollar doesnt take as much time to earn. Meaning people will have more dollars than they did in the past. You have to think logically here. Just because "they cant afford college" or other BS like that, doesnt mean they need more money. Earn it. Welcome to the real world.
