For some odd reason, the cost of minimum wage employees is the only wage that drives up the cost of product. Executive and management salaries have managed to escalate over the last ten years while minimum wage has been stagnant........yet, it is the minimum wage worker who is greedy
Let me explain something here: a worker is only worth as much as the next person willing to do the exact same job. That's how our worth is determined.
You can't get just anybody to do a CEO job. Oh sure, it looks simple in movies and like, but this is real life we are talking about.
If you clean toilets, flip burgers, turn nuts onto bolts for a living, you are doing a job that anybody can do. Because of that, the employer can find people to do those jobs for low wages.
If you get a skill such as an electrician, plumber, welder, bricklayer, they pay better because not everybody can do these jobs.
Education is great, but only if you are educated in a field of work that has demand. There are people that graduate college or trade school that make less than a mailman.
