Blackout Wrote:Another problem with raising minimum wage that I believe no one has mentioned yet is that it can cause people to be fired - You can force employers to pay a minimum, you can't force them to not fire someone - If they reach the conclusion that the new minimum salary is too much, they'll fire people - That's how it works

That's one of the reasons that the welfare state exists. If you are actively searching for jobs (and can prove that) but haven't got one, in the UK we have something called "job-seeker's allowance".
