$15 minimum wage permits few luxuries in US cities

A very interesting article on the repercussions. Of course, let's NOT do that so hard working people can collect food stamps, welfare and be a burden on the taxpayer instead of the "free market system." Either way, it's coming out of YOUR wallet so if you really believe in drowning big government in that bathtub, then you should be all in favor of paying a living wage. Here's how it works out ...

Full article:

http://www.timesunion.com/news/us/article/15-minimum-wage-permits-few-luxuries-in-US-cities-5525903.php

Excerpt:

SEATTLE (AP) — A $15 minimum wage like the one adopted in Seattle doesn't buy many luxuries in most American cities.

Lattes, theater tickets and cable television will still be out of reach for most minimum-wage workers. But about $31,000 a year should be enough to pay the average rent for a shared one-bedroom apartment, plus utilities, health insurance, groceries and an inexpensive cellphone plan.

Monday's vote by the Seattle City Council created the nation's highest minimum wage. The state minimum wage in Washington was already $9.32 an hour, the highest state wage in the U.S.

Expatistan, a website that tracks the cost of living in cities around the world, says New York, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Honolulu, Boston and Seattle are the most expensive U.S. cities overall, in that order.

An Associated Press comparison of the cost of living in several other major U.S. cities shows a higher wage would make a difference in those places too, but it won't allow for many extras.


---

Do check out what it REALLY costs to live, and well ... fuggem, right? You'll make up the difference in taxes instead and THEN some because an awful lot of richer people ain't gonna pay YOUR share of them. So looks like the right is presented with a real choice here. Put money in THEIR pocket, or pay it to that government. Choose.

But if anyone can live comfortably doing a job that doesn't require skills don't we lose incentive to acquire skills? Why would anyone learn to weld or learn construction when they can live a similar lifestyle delivering pizza?

That's what I don't understand in this. They want to make the unskilled labor wage to similar levels of people that have skills.

Skilled labor will still pay a lot more than $15 an hour, once the apprenticeship is over. This is bringing the lower tier of wages to a more realistic level.

But all the other wages will go up too, that's the point, making everything more expensive, so the guy making the minimum will not be any better off than now, even if the numbers changed.

But the buying power of that same money buys less when all the wages go up, as pricing will go up with it. Minimum wage earners are consumers as well, and their "higher wage" will not buy more if everyone elses goes up, bringing up pricing.

Of course, but their wage will go up as unskilled labor wages gets closer to theirs. That in turn brings up pricing, and the low wagers won't be any better off than they are now even if the numbers they make change

On the contrary. A wage is necessarily less than the economic value of the labour performed— that's how capitalism works. The remainder of that value goes to company owners and shareholders, most of whom belong to a parasitic rentier class. If all wages go up, it means a larger percentage of labour's value will be left in the hands of the people who earned it, which means they'll be better off for it.

Increasing wages across the board will increase prices by an amount less than the increase in wages, resulting in a net gain of purchasing power and a more equitable distribution of wealth.

No. An across-the-board wage increase cannot drive up prices by more than its own value unless wages are driven higher than the economic value of the labour performed (which is clearly not going to happen).

Of course that's the real issue. Do we want a society where people no longer aspire for an education to get a better job? What the uber-liberals don't see is, if you pay the fry cook at Mickey D's $15 an hour it seems like no big deal. The cost of fries and a burger will go up a few cents. Then you have to raise the salary of the supervisor because he can't earn what his subordinates earn and then you have to raise the salary of the manager. Expand that to the entire economy and suddenly that $15 minimum wage is worth what the $7.75 minimum wage was worth in real buying power. They are back in the same hole.

Minimum wage jobs were never intended to be the sole means of support for a family. Instead they were intended to help teens learn what a job was about while providing pocket money of help someone with some additional cash. What happens to the person driving the school bus for $15/hr. which requires training, skills and responsibility? What about his/her supervisor - are they all getting raises too? Instead of looking to pay people more for unskilled jobs, why aren't the liberals looking to get these people to upgrade their skills so they can move into some of those "shovel-ready" jobs that this president promised us? By the way - where are those shovel-ready jobs?

Do we want a society where people no longer aspire for an education to get a better job?

I don't know. I've always been meaning to ask you why you keep slashing support for education.

What the uber-liberals don't see is, if you pay the fry cook at Mickey D's $15 an hour it seems like no big deal. The cost of fries and a burger will go up a few cents.

Probably not even that. More like, my dividends will go down by one penny per century per share.

Then you have to raise the salary of the supervisor because he can't earn what his subordinates earn and then you have to raise the salary of the manager.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Expand that to the entire economy and suddenly that $15 minimum wage is worth what the $7.75 minimum wage was worth in real buying power.

Nope. Overall, more money has gone to the people who earned it and less to the people who own the company. Even if the minimum wage sees no net increase in purchasing power, everyone else certainly will.

Minimum wage jobs were never intended to be the sole means of support for a family. Instead they were intended to help teens learn what a job was about while providing pocket money of help someone with some additional cash.

Tell that to the labour unions who fought and died to get a minimum wage so that they could earn enough to support their families.

You know, for someone who gets a union pension, you're surprisingly anti-union.

What happens to the person driving the school bus for $15/hr. which requires training, skills and responsibility?

He gets a raise.

What about his/her supervisor - are they all getting raises too?

Why not?

Instead of looking to pay people more for unskilled jobs, why aren't the liberals looking to get these people to upgrade their skills so they can move into some of those "shovel-ready" jobs that this president promised us?

We are doing that. Of course, asking people to upgrade their skills doesn't work very well when your people make tuition unaffordable and your people wreck the economy, leaving the newly-skilled with nothing but minimum wage jobs (and six figures of student loan debt).

The problem is that the bulk of all production in this country is taken by a parasitic rentier class— improving your skills just leaves you better equipped to fight over the crumbs that remain. Increasing the minimum wage (and all wages by extension) will force the 1% to throw a bone or two along with the crumbs.

By the way - where are those shovel-ready jobs?

Obama's one of your people. You'll have to ask him yourself.

Of course, but as their salaries get downgraded by those lower/no skill jobs getting more, their salaries will go up making "welding and advanced carpentry" also more expensive, and as pricing goes up, so does everything else, and the now few dollars more low jobs can only buy the same goods/services as they did before.

Ahem. If you haven't noticed, "everything" went up in price so the 1%ers could maintain their ROI despite low to no demand. Which BTW, goes against the "rules" of supply and demand.

It's long about time for wages to catchup. This isn't going to produce an inflationary spiral. When work is attractive, as n providing for one's needs, the economy benefits.

OK, maybe you'd like to take a stab at the questions, then?


1. Define "liberal."

2. Define "conservative."

3. When did the trait of skin with limited pigmentation first appear in the Americas and why did it appear at that time?

4. Describe exactly what form of government you would endorse. In more detail than "small." As in, name a few government programs and/or activities that you support.

5. What do customer service associates have to do with Godwin?
