[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not worried about teens. I’m worried about single adults trying to afford a one bedroom apartment on 40 hours a week, so they have time to go to MC or a training school. I’m worried about the young married couple with a baby trying to afford an apartment, daycare, diapers, and formula with both parents working only 40 hours a week. Those folks need $15/hour.[/quote] This. The working poor should have a wage that allows them to survive. [/quote] Fine, but they also need those jobs to exist in the first place. I support a minimum wage, but I also recognize that if it is set at too high a level it will reduce employment - labor can be substituted with capital, like the McDonald kids example shows. I think $15 is probably too high here and will reduce the demand for labor. $12 would have been a better number.[/quote]
