I do support the raising of the minimum wage, but we surely have to be careful with it.

You know that it will lead to fewer jobs, and higher percentage of unemployed (which you were against just a minute ago).


You don't know that.........CA has one of the highest minimum wage in the country and its generates the most jobs.

I said, it could. It doesn't have to lead to fewer jobs. If other conditions improve in conjunction, that won't happen.

Do you know what it's like to raise a family on $5.15/hr? If that's the best we can do, then we are seriously f**ked.

"You know that it will lead to fewer jobs, and higher percentage of unemployed "

While there is a sort of logical appeal to this argument, I don't believe there has ever been a study that showed this to be true.
