    This is a bit of a false dilemma. You can have a MW hike without going to 15.

    Yep. I couldn't find the link but I remember reading a piece recently about how the US economy is losing thousands of electricians and plumbers a year because there aren't enough entry level folks to keep up with retirements. As a country we need to invest a whole lot more into vocational training in high schools.
    This stigma that plumbers, electricians, mechanics are lowly slime is infuriating.
    People who do these jobs in a professional manner and thoroughly are very skilled and enormously talented especially when having to redo a horrible existing structure. If you ever get a chance to sit and watch what this takes... I will pay bucks for people who do this properly and creatively with old houses. Because I am horrible at it. Its too fckn difficult. I dont do this everyday and I am not an expert and I dont have the best equipment. Im ready for all the do it yourself people to tell me what a great job they did on their own and how easy it is with Youtube and how they saved a ton of money. Time... You do it for the first time, it takes time and you will fck up. Or put in another ty job to redo later.

    And maybe you will throw tools and punch a wall like I do and end up paying more.

    Glad you noticed that people of color (including you) are more likely to not have a job that pays well.

    Looks like your kids will have a great chance of earning a minimum wage as adults and end up, like qchrisy, living in your basement - longer after their white counterparts have purchased homes.

    If they are working for $7.25 an hour they are morons or illegals. There are help wanted ads everywhere you look starting a lot higher than that.

    Do you think $11/hr is a livable wage?

    Then it shouldn't be too hard to raise it.

    I still don't think it should be $15, though.

    No, it's re ed to even have a nationwide minimum wage. The local compe ive market should set the wage. High cost areas like New York, Seattle, LA, etc. would naturally have higher wages than lower cost areas like Alabama. In San Antonio it appears that $12 is around the average for unskilled uneducated labor. The more skills they acquire, the higher the pay. I know the cheapest I have on the payroll is for a "moderate" skill shop guy that unloads trucks, sweeps and cleans, takes deliveries, etc. @ $20 an hour plus insurance, matching 401K, paid holidays and vacation etc.
