increasing the number of low-pay jobs, helps low-income earners; and has no adverse effects, on middle-to-upper income earners. All gains, no losses. Overall good for the American Public.
Weddikind, I suppose most of us, (and hopefully all of us) members agree this, (i.e. your) post.
But increasing the numbers of lower paying jobs by eliminating the legal minimum wage rate would decrease the nations median wages purchasing power and it would decrease it well beyond the decrease attributable to only the increased numbers of lower paying jobs. That would certainly be adverse to our economy.
