Minimum Wage in major Cities

If the minimum wage goes up to 15 dollars like we want I bet all our work goes to india. I am first in line filling out an app at Micky D's. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/heres-us-minimum-wage-stacks-174426659.html ...

I heard a fellow on TV the other night say (quote?) a conversation at the dinner table the night before with dad telling his children "my dream for you is to some day have a minimum wage job." The conversation was about minimum wage jobs not being the goal, but rather the stepping stone to a better job with better pay - people should strive to get out of the minimum wage jobs - not want them to be the best that they can do - with minimum wage, the employer can have more positions to offer ...

I want to ask what would happen if the minimum wage changed to higher than it is. Would all these companies have to pay minimum wage? I know that when I asked about this from the head of the local (can't remember the title of the organization right now) that she said that they had to pay minimum wage. I have heard someone say that if they increased it to $16 an hour that people would be able to live on that. Can't remember who but he was a business expert, etc. Even if they don ...

Who makes minimum wage? Apparently not just your average fast food worker. The average age of a minimum wage worker is 35, not the teenager the Republicans are so afraid will raise the cost of their hamburgers. 54% of minimum wage workers labor at a full time job. Not the teenager who works for a couple of hours after school. 27% of minimum wage workers support children. Well, I am not sure if that is the teenager working down at the fast food joint--that probably dep ...

Liberals really should listen to conservatives, who have a much better handle on economic matters. 1. Hardly anyone has gone off the public assistance rolls. 2. Restaurant workers are losing the tip income they depended on, both because patrons know about the new wage, and don't feel obliged to tip, and also because some restaurants are adding a 15% surtax on the bill to cover their labor costs. 3. People asking for LESS hours so they don't lose their welffare (!). ...

The Iowa Republican controlled state legislature is pushiing a bill to freeze the minimum wage at $7.25 and rescind local wage increases that have already been passed. This should make the big MTSOs very happy. How about you? Do you think your work is only worth $7.25 a hour? I think these Republicans think that the only people making 7.25 an hour are burger flippers. I know, there are MTs always willing to brag about their line counts, etc. I know, however, th ...

By "clear up", I mean "to the extent possible". I've spent two weeks "in the stacks", reviewing more than 2 dozen of the more recent economic analyses on the subject of the minimum wage, from sources that are considered reasonably objective. For the most part, I focused on studies published by the NBER. Of course, there's never any absolute assurance of objectivity, but peer review offers some reason to hope for it. They don't call economics "the dismal science" ...

Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton wanted the minimum wage raised and that was part of their platform. Does anyone think raising the minimum wage will help the economy? My soon to be ex-company, Nuance, fired the California MTs because of minimum wage higher than average in California. Will other companies avoid high minimum wage requirements and avoid doing business in those states? Do you think if the minimum wage is higher, costs to the consumers will be higher. If ...

Businesses don't just sit idly by when wages are pushed up by artificial means such as mandatory minimum wage increases. They take one or more of a whole range of adaptive measures that are available to them to protect their profits - cutting staff, cutting the hours of staff, demanding more of existing staff, reducing non-wage benefits and investing in labor-saving automation. What I didn't mention is that, from a purely fiscal "spreadsheet" standpoint, the greater the (a ...

Just got the memo from my company with regard to parts of the country where they will not take employees - and they're either where the minimum wage has been raised (like Seattle) or states that impose other gargantuan regulations on small businesses. There will also be strict limits on how much people can work, and there will be no overtime. There have been a number of studies about the impact of mandatory increases in the minimum wage. It's impossible to summarize these studies, ...

Kinda funny that they want more yet, according to the BLS, these are the statistics. The dates are June 2013, April 2014, May 2014, and June 2014. Looks like wages are going up, not down. Of course, this administration isn't bragging this up, are they? Wonder why. You would think they'd be proud of these numbers.

wage doesn't cost jobs might want to have a chat with unions in Los Angeles. After pushing for a big hike in that city's minimum wage — which will climb to $15 an hour by 2020 — labor leaders now want an exemption for companies that have unionized workers. Why? Because, according to Rusty Hicks, head of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, "with a collective bargaining agreement, a business owner and the employees negotiate an agreement that works for them both. The ag ...

The concept of a federal union of states isn't difficult to grasp. Here was the situation at the founding of our country: 1. No state could exist for long as an independent entity. Powerful forces in Europe would ensure that the individual states would be subverted to their own purposes. 2. If states must band together to form a nation, they can only do so if they agree to surrender certain prerogatives to the federation of states - specifically, matters which impact all ...

Bill passed 241-179 in the House. This is the one that will withhold certain funds and grants (not all funding) to sancutuary cities. Hopefully, it will pass the Senate. After all, it's no wonder there are so many people who think they don't have to follow the laws of this contry when cities don't follow federal law and protect criminals. ...

Last night the White House issued a statement blasting the decision: Once again, a single district judge — this time in San Francisco — has ignored Federal immigration law to set a new immigration policy for the entire country. This decision occurred in the same sanctuary city that released the 5-time deported illegal immigrant who gunned down innocent Kate Steinle in her father’s arms. San Francisco, and cities like it, are putting the well-being of criminal aliens before the safety of ...

Trump and the Pubs want to get rid of the alternative minimum tax. Based on what is known about Trump's finances now that those 2 pages have been revealed, he would have paid a tax rate of 3 1/2% without the alternative minimum tax. This would probably be true for the other millionaires and billionaires as well. What do you think that would do to the federal budget and the national debt? ...

I had always had my taxes done by H&R Block but decided to go with a local accounting firm in my city that has been in business for 30+ years because they were recommended and were less expensive. The person who prepared my taxes there seemed nice enough, but she kept laughing and saying how she was not a good typist. She told me she had been in the business for 20 years. She had my last year's return from H&R Block and asked if my bank routing number was still co ...
