minimum wage

Minimum wage employees can finally buy that house on the hill they have all been dreaming about.

I see.

It helps put small towns out of business, and moves people into more efficient high-density housing.

Whenever they raise the minimun wage, our policies end up creating 0.40 to 0.45 cents an hour jobs in china.

 

[Cutehumor]

My salary should increase, no?

 

[Pablo]

If raising the minimum pay rate helps everyone, why not make them $15 hour?

 

[dwendt44]

Seems some here have never tried living on the minimum wage.

 

[firemachine69]

I was there.

I got out of it. Verge of bankruptcy with all that easy credit. Of course, NOW I regret it...

 

[crinkles]

australian minimum wage = $A543.78 per week pre tax.
= A$13.60 per hour for 40 hrs. or about US $10.90/hr

 

[oilyriser]

Higher min wage = more people on the dole = more dependent voters

 

[sprintman]

Hmm up to half the Australian minimum wage.
