In Michigan I see fast food places and Menards advertising $13-$13.50 starting pay. Is this what everybody else is seeing in other states?[/QUOTE
Even McDonalds by me is $12 ,and higher for overnights.
CNA's in my area average 15 to 17 per hour.
I haven't seen anyone pay under $10 in quite some time.
Costco just went to $16.

Weren't you just saying increasing Minimum wage would only increase inflation, thus hurting everyone, and helping no one?
Most don't realize the actual Minimum wage is 0.
CBO, says increasing Minimum wage to 15 will cost 1.4 million jobs.
States are welcome to pay whatever Minimum wage they desire, one of the great features of a federalist system. Don't like something in your state, move to a state the you do like. That's what I am doing. Crying about the shithole I live in changes nothing.
This isn't a bill for COVID, but rather increase standard of living. Even @ $12.00 and hour, that could help others who work 2-3 jobs at $8.00.
Minimum wage decisions should be left to the states. Louisiana and Mississippi (love typing that!) is different than New York, due to cost of living.
I despise seeing medical jobs starting at $10 an hour when training/certification/professional licesure is in the package.
The current min. wage has not kept up with inflation or economy advances.
Bureau of Labor Statics: The real minimum wage (or wage adjusted for inflation) is 25% lower than it was at its peak in 1968.
Jobs are scarce
Minimum wage is an unlivable poverty level with two jobs
but lets give the wealthy a tax break and save the confederacy
The right is a cult
You're an idiotic ideological extremists. Jobs are scarce because Democrat governors idiotic authoitarian lockdowns. You have no clue about economics, or anyother complex issues, run along kiddo. Go, chase your fantasy conspiracy theories. Maddow has your next conspiracy theory ready tonight.
