I don't necessarily believe that we should have a minimum wage... but that statement I am not sure is entirely accurate.. there are parts of this country where jobs are few and far between and people just cant up and move...
Jobs at the local target and other retail places in the north east would pay 10 dollars an hour, at 40 hours a week that's only 21K a year... that'd be tough to live on...
i don't think that the government should tell businesses what they should pay, I think the market shoudl determine that, as well as the skill level of the employee... but I'm also realistic enough to understand that in some places, if the jobs are scarce and the people who need jobs is high, that the employer will pay as little as possible.. because they can...
