RE: Is there a problem with a livable wage?

in #speakyourmind7 years ago (edited)

I see your point @taylorleigh1111 ,my perspective on things is minimum wage at 11$/h or 14$/h , everything goes up regardless because they can and people will still buy their products. It's only fair wages keep up as well. I do see the strain of living paycheck to paycheck and increasing prices may seem like it cancels itself out. The data here in Alberta shows other wise and it actually benefited both workers and businesses. It's been 2 years since it was implemented here.

I'm really glad that someone actually benefits from it. Hopefully that trend spreads this way. It would be a wonderful thing if minimum wage here went up enough to make it easier.
