[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I hope things work out. I've worked with quite a few wonderful people on visas. It almost seems like these companies run rackets where they hold the visa over their workers. These colleagues were some of the nicest and hardest working people I've ever known, people who are playing by the rules, then get kicked out of our country. All the while there are criminals and gang-bangers we could be focusing more money and effort on in getting them off our soil.

The minimum wage debate may be center stage in Washington as fast food workers nationwide protest and President Obama renews his call for a higher federal minimum wage. More than 3.5 million Americans work at or below the minimum wage, up more than 50 percent from a decade ago, and government data show that the numbers of minimum wage workers have [b]swollen even among those with college and advanced degrees.[/b]

The number of college graduates working minimum wage jobs is nearly 71 percent higher than it was a decade ago, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' latest figures. As of 2012, 284,000 college graduates were working at or below the minimum wage, up from 167,000 in 2002 and more than two times the pre-recession low of 127,000 in 2006. The cohort includes an estimated 30,000 people with masters' degrees, a figure that is more than twice as high as it was in 2002 and three times as high as in 2006.
