States with higher minimum wage gain more jobs

Many business groups argue that raising the minimum wage discourages job growth by increasing the cost of hiring. A Congressional Budget Office report earlier this year lent some support for that view. It found that a minimum wage of $10.10 an hour, as President Obama supports, could cost 500,000 jobs nationwide.

But the state-by-state hiring data, released Friday by the Labor Department, provides ammunition to those who disagree. Economists who support a higher minimum say the figures are encouraging, though they acknowledge they don't establish a cause and effect. There are many possible reasons hiring might accelerate in a particular state.

People will work if you pay them more. More money means bills are paid, less debt, and more put back into the economy.

Where does the money come from that they're paid?
Democrats should not be allowed to vote.

After the damage Republicans caused the country over the last 20 years, Democrats are all that's saved us.
Uh, do you want examples? There are lots.
al Qaeda is jealous of the GOP. They tried so hard to damage this nation and the GOP does it for fun with hardly any effort.

Democrats are responsible for racial segregation; unstructured families and the subsequent social demise; failed economy due to green energy fascism; failed foreign policy; and welfare mentality (like forced minimum wages) that inhibits economic growth and encourages social apathy. That's just a few.
So, where does the money for your minimum wage hikes come from? You still haven't answered. Until you supply the correct answer you should not be allowed to vote.

if full of shit doesn't come to mind, you need to be told you're full of shit

I'm full of shit yet you couldn't rebut a single point. Typical lefty. When presented with facts they either shut up or disparage.

Anyone who blames the GOP for what happened to our economy isn't smart enough to be arguing about it. There were many things that came together to cause things to go south, one of them was the Democrat Congress ignoring Bush's warnings 5 times.

That.

 

[Skull Pilot]

Places with lower unemployment have to have higher wages. It's called competition for workers.

If there is low unemployment then businesses who need people must make their place of business more attractive.

Higher wages follow higher employment.

LMAO you're conclusion is all wrong, go peddle your socialism on some street corner with a bullhorn.

Wow another republican who doesn't know the meaning of words in the english language.

Socialism isn't private money being paid to workers. That's capitalism.

This has nothing to do with public tax dollars. This is private dollars from private business paying their workers a wage that's enough to live on without having to run to the government for money just to be able to sustain themselves.

What you republicans want is socialism. You want wages for private business to be very low and for tax dollars to make up the difference.

If you really hated socialism you would support a higher minimum wage so that people wouldn't qualify for government assistance.

You've got that conservative projection down to an art form.

Liberals want to take from those who have more and give to those who have less for no other reason than "fairness" and "fair share". They tell their dumb ass base they are entitled to a share. I say when the bunch of gutless lazy liberals grow a pair, start their own business, risk their own money and future, make the personal sacrifices required to start and grow a business then they can feel free to give part of the business to their employees if they choose. I seriously doubt that will happen. Employees here's your paycheck, that's it now get back to work until next payday or feel free to go work some other job.

and republicans want to pay less so the can have more money for them selves by doing no work at all and get their 5th houase ...while the poor the eat worms and the rich eat lobster... yeah you have a great idea of fairness.... and when all their employee leave all at once, what will he be saying ???dam them liberals for getting them better jobs

You realize how insane you sound, right?

 

[Billy000]

I feel like you could feed facts and context to most republicans all day and they still wouldn't have the maturity and integrity to realize they were wrong. Their ideology is driven mostly by emotion. The day they realize that is the day we put aside the propaganda altogether.

Billy, you start troll threads and when the entire board piles on with how stupid you are and citing facts, graphs, links etc your response is always, nuh-uh.
Go get a life.

whats funny is you guys in the lefties party say that.....and the people in the righty party say the same about you only with the roles reversed....one of the reasons why both parties are helping destroy this country....

Increase the min wage by ten times and watch things soar!
Correlation is not causality. Repeat that 10 times and go kill yourself.

Before you blow a gasket, you might want to try reading the OP.

its Rabbi ... really!!!! if he's not embelishing his post, he doesn't grasp what you;re saying

kinda sounds like you too Billy....

 

[Harry Dresden]

Minimum wage has been raised many times over the years and not once has it caused the economic meltdown so feared by the righties.

it was only raised 50 cents or a buck....doubling it may have an effect....just saying....

Billy all you do is tell everyone how stupid they are with incoherent posts, but yet you very seldom answer a post with some actual knowledge.....maybe if you quit posting while high you might garner a little more respect....next to franco you are the only other poster who needs one of these to see what you are saying....

Correct. Raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour would be disastrous. Which is why conservatives need to stop with the NO raise nonsense and start arguing for a reasonable increase otherwise we're gonna get a disaster

You mean this part of the OP:

Economists .. acknowledge they don't establish a cause and effect. There are many possible reasons hiring might accelerate in a particular state.
​

If nothing else, this thread has established that you are more completely moronic than previously suspected..

 

[Harry Dresden]

Correct. Raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour would be disastrous. Which is why conservatives need to stop with the NO raise nonsense and start arguing for a reasonable increase otherwise we're gonna get a disaster

even in my State they just raised it too 9.00 an hour and they will raise it to 10.00 in 2016.....many pro raisers they talked to on the news were saying 15 might be kinda steep....a 6 dollar jump is a lot of money Statewide....

 

[Samson]

Also from the article,


Economists who support a higher minimum say the figures are encouraging, though they acknowledge they don't establish a cause and effect. There are many possible reasons hiring might accelerate in a particular state.

Yeah I saw that but I take this and what's going on in Washington as signs that you are not loosing jobs..

Like I've said. Everyone whines about inflation till it comes to wages.

Washington has no income tax. It's also heavily benefited from the tech industry.

Still do doesn't negate what I said

Essentially, you said that you read your OP, but selectively chose to ignore the part that said, "There are many possible reasons hiring might accelerate in a particular state."

Negating what you said would be agreeing with your own OP.



Is there a point to this thread?
