I think the minimum wage, the lowest that employers can legally pay their workers, should have gone up in the past 15 years.
I know what you mean. Why is there a minimum wage anyways?
it's a price floor, the bottom that workers may not sell their labor So its to give workers a fair wage, and it hasn't gone up in 15 years, we need it to be enforced.
How can it go up? Who sets the rate?
politicians are paid to make laws that protect workers and the weakk, thats what they are paid for. , supports of the minimum wage say it increases the standard of living
We need the living standards to go up as prices have risen but wages are low. Do companies follow the set minimum wages?
they love that it hasn't gone up. Over time, the minimum wages came to be seen as a way to help lower income families
How can we as individuals work towards increasing the minimum wage?
