Really wish they'd increase the tipped minimum wage in the rest of the country. Being a waiter in San Fran must be in the highest ranks of salary.Best FGO: Time To Eye{3-0-0-0}

Re: Minimum Wage in California to be Raised to $10!!
Cost of living over here is ridiculous, and this is coming from someone who lived in NY up until last year.
Either way I'm a contractor in a weird personal family work situation who doesn't even make close to minimum wage so this doesn't affect me : (Comment

Re: Minimum Wage in California to be Raised to $10!!
You make $30/hr and can barely afford basic living expenses? I don't believe that. That's like ~$50k a year. Maybe I'm misinterpreting what you're saying, I obviously don't know your situation in life etc but that just seems weird or Canadian.Last edited by Tps222; 09-13-2013, 05:52 PM.Comment

Re: Minimum Wage in California to be Raised to $10!!
Higher minimum wage = less available jobs and less small businesses able to open.....
Also, for people like me, it would mean less money to give out raises to those who actually deserve it. I would be stuck making the same as the incompetent employee working next to me because the business cant afford to pay the good employees higher.Last edited by dragonmegaXX; 09-13-2013, 08:10 PM.

Re: Minimum Wage in California to be Raised to $10!!
Theoretically you could pay everyone in the state $1/hr to pick up trash on the streets. 100% employment! But it wouldn't be a livable wage and you'd have significant opportunity cost along a variety of metrics. You need to take all the data in together to make an accurate assessment.
It is true that some small businesses may get pressurized, but if a business can't afford to pay its workers a livable wage (even if the business itself is not going skew-heavy with the payout distribution), then it technically can't afford to do business and isn't actually adding optimal value to society anyway.
There's no one right answer to whether or not minimum wage is good or bad -- it depends on a lot of other factors and trends. It's sort of like asking if it's always good to wear a coat in winter. If it's freezing and snowing outside, then sure. But if you live in a hot place where even the winters are sunny, then maybe it's not such a good idea. Similarly, there are going to be situations where minimum wage helps a lot more than it hurts, and other times where it's clearly not the solution.Comment
