Fun Facts to Know and Tell: Minimum Wage Edition
Mar 26th, 2011 by wintercow20
Conclusion?
It’s also the case that roughly 20% of hourly-paid workers who earn the minimum wage or less are in the food service industry or in sales. Those employed in both are paid partly in fixed wages and partly on commission or by tips. Their minimum wage earnings make up only part of their total compensation.
How can 13% be employed by the government? That must be only temporarily, perhaps as gardeners for Harry Reed (expense account). Or maybe these are the jobs created to dig holes and fill them up, or break windows, creating more jobs.
I think the minimum wage should be raised to $600 an hour for anyone who can utter a semi-coherent sentence, which is the going rate for lawyers, except when they work on a contingency basis. This rate should be subsidized for economists with a degree from Cornell and investment advisors with an annual gross income of less than the poverty level in Northern Virginia. Plus any member of the SEIU, of course. Hell, raise the maids to $2000 an hour.
