The study included people up to $18/hr as being "impacted". It expected that people in the 15-18hr range will receive pay increases. That's why it's nearly 50% of the workforce, not just a small percentage.
As I said it isn't a few % when you go up to 15 an hour
...up to 18 an hour jfc that includes a ton of people
(even good amount of college educated)
yeah that isn't a small percentage at all
wah, now you feel for uneducated people making slightly above min wage?
educated, uneducated doesn't matter anymore
no need for college anymore for anything but STEM
now everyone is happy......except people doing harder jobs for same pay
but suckas to be them
They are a vast percentage of what is left, until the entire world is on a level playing field where human labor in China is valued the same as it is in the US. Governments and corps are doing their best to stave that off because profits$$.
absolutely
and if i were a greedy capitalist, which I am, i would outsource everything until then @18 an hour
if i couldn't outsource it i would automate it
no wonder commercial store fronts are doomed and malls are empty
America's Desperate Mall Owners Turn To Grocers, Doctors & High Schools To Fill Empty Space
having an actual store is considered a liability now (not just from rent)
we will see how this all works out but I'm not seeing a lot of people voluntarily forking out more money when they have cheaper alternatives.
I'm seeing Amazon winning....Walmart following their model completely
closing stores and going primarily online
A giant wave of store closures is about to hit the US - Business Insider
and about the state cost of living disparities, this is pretty obvious but politicians are, as a whole, ambitious but rather stupid people.
perhaps....or they just buying votes with others money
whoever or whatever fills that soap box faster
smart or dumb.....I gots mine and rest doesn't matter I have learned
keep learning
