That is almost a year old and been discussed multiple times. Nobody is forcing the ppl that can't get a job to stay in LP, Tallulah, Waterproof, etc. They could easily stay in monroe, BR, LR, NOLA on one of their trips to go get their hair done. They might find a job in those cities.

that's how I feel about it. I have been hearing "we are short staffed" or "we are a couple of men short" all over the city here.

And $6,800 a year????

If you make $8/hr you make $16,640 a year. So either these people don't have full time jobs or most don't have jobs at all.

Now I do feel that $16k a year as minimum wage is a joke, I also know that raising it swiftly will hurt more than it helps.
