This is not an increase it is a pay range. People were making $8, $9, $10, $11 & $12 an hour. I just saw a job opening for a store where they are paying $3 more for people to work on weekends. Now people are making $12, $13, $14 & $15 an hour. This is what they said they wanted. In some states Walmart is already paying $15 and hour and they have plans to pay everyone everywhere that amount.
My wife is only making $12 which she is not happy with. But they give her pretty much all the overtime she wants. So she ends up making the amount she wants.
Hi josh,
Yes, I know what people are making. My point was that you seemed to think that had all come about since President Obama left office. I'm saying that just isn't the case. People were making those wages you're talking about the last couple of years of President Obama's administration also. $10 to $12/hour is about what starting positions have been paying in many, many jobs for a half dozen years. Yes, I know that in fast food, they have been very tight in raising wages, but most jobs have been starting out at $10/hour or more for quite a while. Now you say they're making $13-$14/hour. My son just got a job starting out at $11.50 not 6 months ago. Wages haven't jumped up any appreciable amount in the last half dozen years. They certainly haven't jumped up because or the new administration.
You do remember that this is the guy who hires H1B visa employees because he doesn't want to pay a fair U.S. wage, right. They guy who, for all of his 'make America great again' rhetoric, has most of his stuff made outside of the country.
God bless,
In Christ, ted
