Maybe it’s time for everyone to put their big boy pants on, leave politics at the door, have a honest conversation based on real numbers. The fact is entry level positions are designed to serve as a weeding out process, the good ones move up, demonstrate competency, reliability, thus paid to stay. An employer will do whatever is required to retain qualified and motivated employees. The market dictates compensation practices not government or unions, yet again politicians insist on playIng the vote game by making promises that can never be realized. The result of political dictate in this discussion Is contrary to job creation, expansion of the economy, and creation of wealth which after all is what fuels economic growth.
One would think the lessons of stagnant and failed economies would be remembered but then again that’s asking a lot from individuals who only care about reelection.
