Obama Wants To Raise Minimum Wage

[catlady]

I heard Obama is trying to raise minimum wage to $9.
He feels full time workers should not be living in poverty.
I agree but at the same time, this will kill small businesses.
They won't be able to afford to pay the staff they have.

What do you guys think?

What's the current minimum wage in the US?

In the UK if you're over 21 it's £6.19/hour - small business here manage to pay that to their staff. That's like $10/hour.

$7.25 I believe but I am not certain.

Min. wage has to go up as inflation causes prices for everything to go up. It's common sense.

THIS IS THE BEST NEW EVER! We ownly get $7.25 here in NY and minimum wage it should be aless at $8.00 but $9.00 an Hour WOULD BE FUCKIN EPIC!

$7.25? That's what like £4.60/hour. That's what apprentices get paid in the UK.

How is anyone supposed to like on that when inflation is driving food/living costs through the roof.

Exactly, Gohan. Try living and supporting yourself in CA or NY on minimum wage. It won't happen unless you are living literally with the bare necessities

Good luck on that one guys, you really need that money :/. essentially £4 an hour sucks as a wage.

It's necessary but isn't really a shock. Inflation has pretty much forced it.

Lets be real... In Cali, if you are making minimum wage you would be lucky to afford a cardboard box. ity:

If minimum wage is going to be $9 then I better get a raise...

I wish I didn't have to pay taxes :-(

What's sad is... If you are making $9.50 and the guy who slacks off is making minimum wage.. He will get bumped to $9.00 and you'll be lucky to get a $0.25 raise. I would be pissed if that happened. Like if you are going to raise minimum wage up $1.75, everyone should get a $1.75 raise.
