This is very true, but you have to have the degree now a days to be making that kind of pay.

Or have a very unique skill!

I think its pretty sad that people can't make a living on minimum wage. cost of everything has gone so high. no one could afford to buy a house on normal wages or buy a brand new car or truck with the way cost of living was and half the jobs that you could do when your a young kid will not be here in the next 5 years. so pretty much a person who flips burgers at Mcdonalds gets paid as much as someone with 2 years of schooling and has skills of doing more then just flipping burgers is really stupid.


by the time jobs pay for someone who has a degree. they will be flipping burgers at Mcdonalds for $25 an hour . and the person that went to school for 4 years not making much more will barely be making much more just an example thats all what this world is coming to

If ppl working min wage at a fast food job expect to get $15/hr they need to find a different job. I hear some ppl say 'we'll this is all I could find an I deserve more". BS I say. There are always job opportunities better than fast food.

I didn't go to college but I have a job that pays very well. My base rate is 19.50 and I get payed peice rate. I have already made over 250 a night. Staying in fast food expecting 15$ is redicoulous. It will lower the value of the doller if we pay fast food ppl $15 so they can still mess an order of two burgers and fries up.

Don get me wrong there's plenty of ppl who work hard at places like those and deserve alot better but for what the job is, the wage will not go that high.

Nice topic, agree hate people like this.

you wouldnt be complaining if you was on 15+ dollars dude... Like people said everyone waants money

ImClyz wrote I hate when people protest to get 15 dollars an hour for minimum wage for one minimum wage increased will just cause inflation and everyhting will be the exact same price people who go to college and have good jobs getting paid lets say 20 an hour after mini wage goes to 15 they will get 30 and candy bars will jsut be 5 dollars instead of one rofl legit they will get no where so clue why they try but hey theres a reason theyre working in mcdonalds

From the statement you made about "one minimum wage increased will just cause inflation" I know you do not know what you are talking about. Minimum wage in this country is a joke. Sure, if you go to college you will get paid more, but some people don't have that opportunity. College is a joke. You pay $15,000+ per semester for something that you can learn in a few months to a year. The only thing better than a degree is experience.

It is not possible for a person to live on $7.25 (my states minimum wage).
IF you work a full time job, which is 40+ hours you only make $290 a week.
That comes out to around $1160 a month before taxes.

A cheap apartment costs MAYBE $680, if you can get one for that cheap.
So now you have $480 left for the month.
Set aside $200 for a month of food.
Now you have $280.
At this point you don't even have enough to get a car of you need one.
Plus you need a Cell phone, $50 gone.
Now, if you want internet, that's another $50 gone.
SO you have $180 left.
But you need atleast $50 or more for gas depending on where you work.
So you have $100 left over if that.
Remember no taxes where taken out of that.

You need to realize that this is an issue. Once you move out and don't have the safety blanket that your parents provide you, then you will agree that the minimum wage needs to be more.

They may want more money but to stabilize the economy the Standard of Living will just increase so you may make more money but everything will just cost more so in my personal opinion it's pointless.

Guys the main thing that would happen would be INFLATION If minimum wage goes up the price of that 1 dollar burger you get would go to 4 all that would happen is lets say any mini wage job gets paid like 7.25 or 55 i forget but anyways they get 15 if you are getting paid 15 already there will be a pay rise indefinitly and the new "minimum wage" will be the exact same as the old minimum wage we will just print more cash and will defeat the purpose of the pay raise also has a huge potential to ruin the economy plain and as flat as i can put it nothing will change if they increase minimum wage lets put it in simplest terms i know how.


Okay so say you went to college and have a job that requires high skill and youre getting paid 15 dollars an hour okay now imagine somebody working for minimum wage gets paid the same as you a mc d's worker getting paid as much as some masters degree grads? logic boys the prices will rise plain and simple

If I get the job I just applied for, I will be earning 4 p/hr...
