How can this be? We were told that raising the minimum wage to $15 bucks would be a "living wage" it would solve income inequality..
Dumb ass liberals wouldn't know economics if it bit them in the ass
Again raising the national minimum wage don't do anything
Time for Rethink on Minimum Wage
TIME FOR RETHINK ON MINIMUM WAGE
TUE 31 MAY 16
United Voice, one of Australia’s biggest unions, has urged the Fair Work Commission to look at a new approach to improve wages for Australia’s low paid workers.
Jo-anne Schofield, National Secretary of United Voice says “We are at a critical point in Australia. For the first time since Federation, Australia has a generation of working poor.
“The $15.80 per week increase announced today – just 41 cents per hour - will provide little relief for low paid workers caught in the trap of rising inequality in our nation.
“United Voice notes the Commission’s statement that some low paid workers are living below the poverty line and the over-representation of women amongst the low paid. The decision notes that earnings inequality has increased in Australia, with more highly paid workers achieving higher growth in pay over past decades.
“The time has come to address rising inequality.
“For the past 20 years the minimum wage has steadily and consistently pulled away from average weekly earnings.
