re: Anyone who is for increased minimum wage tell me why we shouldn't jump straight to $100/hr

What jobs pay minimum wage today?

If you start out as an apprentice you make slightly more than this joining my trade but you also have to go to trade schools at night. When you are elevated to journeyman you get a fat jump.

If you get your masters license you doing well and getting paid.

People sacrifice to reap reward.

Unskilled labor jobs with no pathway to improve your situation are not meant to sustain a family. I worked three jobs when I was younger it’s what it took and it didn’t kill me but when my situation in my trade improved I dropped the filler jobs.

People have been doing this since they came into this country.
