"most likely to produce the best results, both overall, and for people with marginal job skills." Most likely to produce more profits for the boss; not too good for the employees and the taxpayers who provide their safety net.. Some of those people with marginal job skills were paid so little by Walmart and McDonalds that the companies were giving advice on how to get food stamps and medicaid. I believe both have since been shamed into raising their MW to $10. If we both stick around until 2022, we'll find out what number between 8, and 15 is best for major global economies. California Gov. Jerry Brown recently signed Senate Bill 3, making the state the first one in the nation to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2022. "This is the work of many hands and many minds and many hearts. This is about economic justice. This is an important day. It’s not the end of the fight, but it is an important step forward," Brown said during a ceremony on April 4. SB 3 was approved by the State Legislature on March 31 after a back room deal between the governor and union leaders. The Assembly passed the bill 48-26, while the Senate approved it 26-12, with all Republicans voting against it. “California is proving once again that it can get things done and help people get ahead. This plan raises the minimum wage in a careful and responsible way and provides some flexibility if economic and budgetary conditions change,” said Brown after the deal was reached. The current minimum wage in California is $10 per hour; next year it will increase to $10.50; by 2018 it will go up to $11 per hour, and it will rise an additional dollar per year until it reaches $15 per hour. fontanaheraldnews.com
