Minimum Wage Laws Kill Jobs

[Truman123]

India doesn't have a minimum wage
China doesn't have a minimum wage
Most of Africa

See it isn't moral for the little bit of butt snapping action you will get out of it. Butt snapping action as the person forced to do it to survive is using his energy to do just that instead of creating idea's. Double edge sword.

China has a minimum wage. It varies by region and is abysmally small, but it exists.

So let's apply the OP's logic to San Francisco. The City of SF pays the highest minimum wage in the country at $10.75 an hour. Unemployment in SF is at 4.4%.

Wow a whopping $10.75 an hour the libs went all out. Have you any idea what it cost to live in San Francisco? That's the equivalent of like $3 an hour in other areas of the country.

It is expected to be raised to $15 in 2018. It does shoot the OP's premise all to hell though doesn't it? Raising the minimum wage is suppose to "kill" jobs. SF should have a much higher unemployment according to the OP, right?

No. Look the median income is nearly $74,000 and median home price is $750,000 San Francisco has a high concentration of well educated affluent residents so its going to have lower unemployment. That said its not the minimum wage that's killing jobs its Democratic party policies and regulations.
