If productivity/performance is the measure for wages, Congress wouldn?t even get a paycheck.

Start paying everyone 22 bucks an hour and you'll see the last few jobs left in the US shipped off to India.

Min wage came out of the Fair Labor Standards Act sign into law by FDR in 1938. The law said about min wage: "minimum standard of living necessary for health, efficiency and general well-being, without substantially curtailing employment" It was supposed to be a minimum basic wage,that one could live in.
I had read with inflation, it should be around $10.56 an hour. |

Would it have been better had minimum wage raised along with production? Sure. Would it be good for it to suddenly be raised to that level from what it is now? Fuck no.

By the way, $22 isn't really $22. It's more like $33-37, and then you add any benefits on top of that? Get real.
Say hello to skyrocketing unemployment/layoffs.

I dont think it has to be $22, $10.50 to $11 an hour. They can live pretty basic on that and could get a second job if they want to make more money. Of course alot of this is based on the assumption of 40 hrs. Most if not all seem to be 25 hrs and you have to be available whenever we need you which makes getting more than one job very hard to do.

And massive inflation. Inflation isn't only produced by the printing of more fiat money. There are many factors wich triggers it.

"Warren did not appear to be saying the rate should actually be increased to $22 an hour. Rather, she was using the study, which demonstrated flat minimum wage growth coinciding with economic inequality, as a platform for a more realistic increase to the minimum wage."

A person can live on $10/hr assuming they are getting full 40 hour weeks. It might not be a high standard of living but it is very possible to do so. |

She's not saying it should be raised to $22 an hour though obviously. Just that it's justifiable when compared in the way she did.
They'll push for $9 as Obama said I think? Seems fair. And of course every raise in history has been met with cries that it'll mean less workers hired.. never comes true. We have booms when people have more money to spend. But get ready for the red herrings to come out and beach themselves as usual.

Minimum wage increases can never do more than compensate for inflation. if you raise it artificially, it creates that inflation.

Minimum wage in Australia is
"Currently the full-time minimum wage is $15.96 per hour or $606.40 per week." On top of that there is 9% employer contributed superannuation, workers compensation, paid maternity and paternity leave, 10 sick days and loadings for public holidays. $1 USD buys about 96 cents AUD. |

Everything in AU is pretty much double of what it costs in the US... so while $16/hr sounds high, it's pretty much equivalent to $8/hr in the US in terms of buying power...

I dont understand why there must be a min wage..
A somewhat free economy will adjust accordingly supply and demand - just like anything else in a capitalistic economy. if there is too much labor supply then take some off the additional supply off the table.
