what happened to the other $14.75? It sure did not go to the worker.
I appreciate the point, Mr. Rutigliano, but I want to go back to the question I had earlier.
when productivity increases, when profits increase, is there a reason that the minimum wage should not increase as well?
A sustainable wage actually reduces the cost for the employers, and keeps people employed.
Had the minimum wage grown at the same pace of incomes going to the top 1 percent of the taxpayers, the minimum wage would have stood at $33...
I have to say, you have now switched your argument from what it was going to do to your business, to what it is going to do to the economy.
Despite the speculation, what the numbers show in terms of what employers actually did is that we are not seeing job losses.
if we just started in 1960... the minimum wage today would be about $22 an hour.
I just want to know, have you reached out, have you talked to the regulators about whether or not they, in fact, are examining the banks on ...
But if it happens gradually----it does not have the visibility and the powerful impact.
I hope there is a special circle of hell for the people who prey on our seniors in this way.
