Increasing the Minimum Wage......

[flip]

U know what's ironic? I get no raise for the upcoming school year and yet the minimum wage is increased.

That's really bad. Someone can't be right in their mind when they allow this to happen. Hope you sort this out.

Do you have to renew this certificate often in USA? Do one go to classes or something to renew?

Foxrac, stop professing to be an expert on everything.

Shut the hell up, you have no rights to tell me about everything.


You never heard of debate, debate, debate, debate then knock it off yourself.

calamate!! but you are telling us everything too

 

[Foxrac]

I told you what they do. They do the work themselves. They don't hire other people because they can't afford to pay them. So they work extra long hours by themselves.



I'm not "blaming" the minimum wage law. I'm just explaining the facts of small business life.

Hubby works for himself. He owns his own business.



If we truly have deflation and the cost of living goes down, why would workers need to increase their wages? Deflation means products and living expenses should be cheaper.



Do you own a small business?

No, I had got some stories from small business owners, some of them said minimum wage law has nothing or small impact on them, some said so.

I was debating about minimum wage law, it has nothing with professional or expert.

Teachers are usually got better pay, so far than minimum wage so you wouldn't get pay raise until economy recover.

so are we. Some ADers in here are owners of small businesses and they're telling you from firsthand experience and yet... you're dismissing & invalidating their statements

 

[Foxrac]

what works for Europeans does not work for Americans and vice versa. Different country, different policy, different laws, different government.

Apple-Orange comparison......

Who cares about apple to orange comparison.

I had received some experience about small businesses as well and I have rights to disagree if needed.

 

[Jiro]

calm down.

 

[Foxrac]

calm down.

No thanks, don't say anything about my debate.

 

[Jiro]

No thanks, don't say anything about my debate.

again - calm down.

 

[Foxrac]

again - calm down.

No, please back off any word like that and I don't want hear about it.

If you don't like it then go walk out of this thread.

 

[Jiro]

and same for you. again - calamate! why such hostility?

 

[Foxrac]

and same for you. again - calamate! why such hostility?

No, I can debate whatever I want and back off about word, such as calm down.

 

[Jiro]

No, I can debate whatever I want and back off about word, such as calm down.

nobody's telling you to back off. I'm asking you to calm down because you're getting all hot and angry for nothing. Remember what Fonz's like? He's cool, right? That's what we're gonna be - we're gonna be cool like Fonz.

anyway - back to subject

Behind the minimum wage debate

Minimum-Wage Debate Continues

A study that just came out from the National Bureau of Economic Research provides some evidence to think that even if that process does occur, it's not very significant. It concludes that small firms (as well as other firms) really do take a hit in profits overall when you raise the minimum wage:

We report evidence showing that firm profitability was significantly reduced (and wages significantly raised) by the minimum wage introduction. This emerges from separate analyses of two distinct types of firm level panel data (one on firms in a very low wage sector, UK residential care homes, and a second on firms across all sectors).
