Illinois Goodwill cuts paychecks as state implements new $15 minimum wage

quote:

"It is going to impact us all," she said. "Gas prices are going to rise, grocery prices are going to rise. Jobs are going to be lost. Look at your Walmart, your Meijers, your Schnucks. They are doing away with real people checking you out and they are doing more to go in the line of automation. Why is that? Because they dont want -- or can't afford in their business model -- to start paying everyone who walks in the door $15 an hour. They can't. So what are they going to do? They start eliminating jobs, because that is the first line of defense."

"Now they're going to need food stamps; they're going to need extra assistance. How is that helping the community in them not having a job, when they actually had a job before and they were self-sufficient?"

Its not helping at all! stupid stupid stupid

Why'd they feel the need to include the executives salary in the article? It's totally irrelevant.

well done lefties!!

You know what consistently depresses wages more than almost anything else? Illegal Immigration.

Illegal immigration hurts the working poor more than any other class. There are studies published that in some urban areas, by halving illegal immigration, you could put $65 to $130 EXTRA PER WEEK in the pockets of the working poor, just in increased wages!!

The "we must pay everyone a LIVING wage" idea has all but killed the odd job economy, which for better or worse did a lot to help sustain a lot of folks on the margins of society. I believe it's played a huge part in the EXPLOSION of panhandlers you seem to now see basically everywhere, which you did not see at all really 10 years or so ago.

The problem with this line of thinking is to undo the damage will take a decade. Now you'll add new folks to the government dole which costs your state even more in the long run.

Democrats need to force business to retain their employees while raising their salaries. That will show them.

Leftists live in a dream world.

Planting the seed of Fed/state controlled wages. Killing the foundation of capitalism 1 small brick at a time.

To be perfectly honest, there’s an awful lot of jobs that aren’t worth paying $15 an hour, no matter what the libs claim.

The greeter at Walmart and a janitor come to mind.
