If $15.00/hr is viable, then a business with $15.00/hr employees could be started and be more efficient, thus, driving the buisnesses with lower paid workers out of the market. That will not happen precisely because today's minimum wage workers get paid exactly what they're worth. One can bitch all thay want about markets and how unfair they are, not emotional; however, that does not mean market effects don't exist.

What will happen to today's minimum workers once it's mandated they be paid more than they're worth?

You're looking a different numbers than I am. Every legitimate index shows the middle class and poor, worse off year by year. It's a limited number of Americans who are realizing a higher standard of living.

Best job I ever had, my 16th and 17th summers...lifeguard at North Ave. Beach in Chicago. $1.92/hr and more women than I could manage.

Even Mitt Romney and a few other "establishment" conservative politicians and business leaders have come to understand this. Problem is, they helped create this mess with their anti-worker and outsourcing bullshit and now they're going to have to figure out how to help fix it.

It's been a long time comin'. I hope you're ready for it.

Thanks for all the good post Dave.

Supply and demand. MD provided something it was cheap food and fast. It has already gotten to the same price of a sit down meal thats better. So dose MD go out of business doubling there employee cost?

The lack of available jobs would be simpel to overcome. Put a sever law that stops hiring of illegal aliens and stat deporting the millions that are here. Secure the border.

So is it that we have too many idiots working minimum wage jobs or they are idiots for working at minimum wage jobs. Either way they are idiots according to our resident idiot. OUCH.

May 21 (Reuters) - More than 100 demonstrators seeking better pay for McDonald's workers were arrested on Wednesday as protesters swarmed the fast-food chain's corporate campus near Chicago demanding a minimum wage of $15 an hour and the right to unionize.

If these people feel there skill is worth $15.00 an hour thay need to go find a job "WILLING" to pay them that. What a bunch of entitled losers!

After DJs latest outburst today, he's also made it to the idiots list as well. Neither offer anything worth reading.
