First best is to remove gov regs and allow the free market to set it. Why do u think 10,000 people showed up at the DC Walmart for a couple of 100 jobs ? How many new businesses would start up if all gov regs were removed from the equation. I CAN GUARANTEE YOU UNEMPLOYMENT WOULD NOT BE NORTH OF 17% LIKE IT IS NOW. Min wage was $1.27 an hour when I started. The local 770 put us out on strike for 3 weeks right after I got my first apt.... turned out after 3 weeks it was for a grand increase of $ 0.3 and hour. Taught me my first lesson re unions and how they sucked the life out of the workers in order to line their own pockets. As far as my raises ... for the last 25 years I never really gave myself one. If I wanted more I just worked harder or hired more sales people. dumbass questions like the one below you can google yourself... I told u its a very small % that make min wage. How many minimum wage workers are there out of what total?
