Millions of workers are paid less than the ‘average’ minimum wage

In other words, nobody makes $7.25 hr. Thanks for proving my point.
But implementing a $15 minimum wage will force employers to pay those that are underpaid at $8.50-$10 hour to pay them $15/hr. That's the end goal. "Nobody makes $7.25" is meaningless to the discussion.
your employees: ", in Texas, a state stuck at the federal minimum wage, 2.7 percent of workers reported earning less than $7.50 per hour last year. "
i'll never advocate for re s at fast food drive-thru's to get anything more than min wage and at our current wage of $7.25/hr. those re s deserve less tbh.
Factually wrong. Gave you the link already.
If they work full time, 40 hours a week those humble and hardworking "re s" have as much of a right to make a living wage. Don't you see all those "Now Hiring" signs by fast food restaurants? A $15 minimum wage will take care of that.
nope, they'll still be re s who up orders or make people repeat orders and still them up. those re s deserve no more than $1.15/hr.
it's amazing how nearly every damn fast food hole has "hiring" signs out nearly all time.
The churn is even worse than rideshare drivers. Although one In'n'Out guy told me he took him 3 interviews to get hired, and he was making more per hour than rideshare drivers' average without the cost and risk of running his own car.
Uber and delivery drivers that have to use their own car don't realize how much they are being ripped off.
that's because they're mainly for high schoolers and not career arrested development re s tbh. the turn over rate is expected with high schoolers.
Pretty much.

so they vote for a lawless, authoritarian pathological LIAR and his bull promises
of bettering their lives by preventing non-whites, non-males, non-straights, immigrants
from causing of the suicide group's plight.
