"They'll just raise prices if thy raise the minimum wage."

RE: "They'll just raise prices if thy raise the minimum wage."
(April 15, 2014 at 8:54 am)alpha male Wrote: If you're going to consider minimum wage, you should know who makes it. In 2012, only 2.8% of American workers were at or below (e.g. waitstaff) the federal minimum wage, and half of them are under 25 years old.

Any worker with a bit of work ethic will get raises and make more than minimum wage. Back in the day, I started at minimum wage at a gas station. Since I showed up when I was scheduled, I was better than most of the people they hired, and soon got raises and benefits. I had to work overtime to make ends meet, but guess what - I was young and just starting out and that's the way it is.

But why should it be necessary to get raises just so you don't have to work overtime, or multiple jobs, to make ends meat?
