That means 75% of workers earn above $10.55 per hour.And? Most min wage earners are teens and retirees working for small business and working part time. And they make up less than 1% of all wage earners.I always relay my personal experience... yes, I wanted to go to Tulane... Tulane was $20k at the time, so that was out.. the University of New Orleans was my next choice.... I couldn't afford full-time, so, I worked fulltime and went to school part-time, evenings and days when I could. Yeah, it took me 6 years.. but I did it.
It can be done.
Not anymore.
Bullshit... it can be done... you just want the easy way out.
Good luck with that you childish brat.
The average minimum-wage paying job only pays around $15,000 a year, fool.
Non factor.
Your inability to stay on point indicates your argument has run out of gas....Stand down
That is wrong.
The overwhelming majority of low-wage earners who would receive a raise by restoring the minimum wage to its historic value are adults who spend their careers in frontline low-wage industries that make our economy run. Fast-growing low-wage jobs like home care are disproportionately held by female and older workers.
Contrary to stereotypes and the repeated claims of minimum wage opponents, the overwhelming majority of low-wage workers are adults, not teens, and they contribute a substantial portion of their households’ incomes. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, three quarters of minimum wage earners are 20 or older.
According to the Economic Policy Institute’s State of Working America, a stunning 35 million Americans – 26 percent of our workforce – earn less than $10.55 an hour.
Once again, you people think money grows on trees. The fact is of the min wage earners are kids and seniors.
And make up less than 1% of the workforce.
Your injection of min wage into this is a merely thread derailment.....Shut it.
None of it is untrue....
BTW, you were referring to min wage. You conveniently injected those making up to over $10 per hour.
What does any of this have to do with college tuition?
