$25 per hour is self-sufficiency in Florida, the wage needed to afford shelter and basic necessities. $15 is perfectly appropriate and warranted.Seems Morgan and Morgan a high powered attorney office want the minimum wage brought up to $15 an hour.
Holy shit. I make a little more than that and have a professional job. Some burger flipper will be making as much as I do. I can already see the price of everything going up, up and up.
What happens when businesses are forced to pay people $15 an hour for $9 worth of added value?
Doesn't hit $15 until 2026 by then your prices will have already gone up. Many businesses will demand employee's to be more productive or hit the road while downsizing a little. Many worker's down here could use a kick in the ass from what I've seen the past 30 years, they have always worked at their own pace.
Inflation currently isn't at a rate that would lessen the added value/$15 minimum issue.
The thing is if companies do make employees do more, then it defeats the purpose of the law, which is to give the most useless employees a raise.
Well that damn useless employee better become stellar pretty fast or out.
