That would involve paying someone low skilled worker more than his/her skills are worth. Why is that a good idea?

Couple the lack of skills and a failure to work hard and the end result can't be anything but bad. If, as an adult, the only skill set someone has warrants a minimum wage, it's clear the lack of skills is due to a lack of effort.
Are you saying people should be paid based on breathing and existence rather than on what wages should be based?
Working hard coupled with skills is.
What makes you say I take things for granted and am ungrateful and unchristian?

No I don't but I've read there are upwards of 7 million unfilled jobs in america so that's not the problem. You're right working hard alone isn't sufficient but it's the basis for any improvement in one as life.

companies are listing jobs and then not filling them in order to inflate the "need" for increased immigration and h1b visas. companies are using the government to glut the labor market and drive down wages.
Too many don't want to work hard yet expect the results of having done so.
They're not filling them because the government thinks it's a better idea to hand someone more money for sitting on their ass than they could earn based on the skills they offer.

Or sweeping floors, emptying trash, and cleaning the toilets. When I was kid, those things weren't considered jobs but chores.
That should please you. It would help demand. Workers spend all they make. They do not have the ability to bank. They are trying to survive. Their wages create demand. 15 bucks is under the equivalent mIn wage when it started. If we just kept up with inflation they would be making more than that. Every year it is not raised, it is worth less due to inflation. So they have been taking a yearly paycut. It should have been pegged to inflation.
Good luck.
Hey dumbass, if you peg minimum wage to inflation, that's called breaking even. How about low skilled workers earn their pay raise for doing something instead of begging for one for something they didn't do.

I've asked you before, demand for what?
CFM as I previously posted, I won’t quibble with you.
Rather than your whining posts within which you flaunt your ignorance, you could google the topic of wage differentials or wage differences.
But you may then require that someone explain what you have read. You make it difficult for people to continuing to respect you. Respectfully Supposn

About $10, maybe $20... After all, you can save a starving kid in some third world shithole for that much a month--not that you've signed up to do it...

AHZ's problem is he thinks wages should be based on personal situations of a worker that were established long before they came to work rather than skills being offered to do the job.
