    What is the minimum wage where you are?

    Anyone live somewhere where there is no minimum wage?

    Here it's currently set at $7.25 per hr.

    When I started working back in the late 70's, min wage was less than $3 per hr. By 1985 it was around $5.

    There are people that think the current minimum wage here is too low, and they want it raised to $10 per hour. I'm sure employers are shuddering over that as we speak, what do you think about such a large hike in the minimum wage? Is it a great idea or do you think people doing the "shit" jobs need to get some education and take some initiative instead of getting handed a 30% pay raise?

    Please discuss...

      i never had a normal job but i believe the minimum is around 8-10 $ per h (depends on how many hr a week you do).

          If the minimum wage gets increased that just means all those other jobs that pay by the hour have to increase too.

          Which in return makes everything cost more.

                  Its $7.25 and when I started working back in 76-77 it was $2.65.
                  It has come a long way since then, and so has the price of everything else.

                                              no minimum unless you are a member of a labor organization.. 16 year old starters at mcdonalds gets $17.50 an hour so I'm guessing around that.. doubt that anyone earns less than that in norway

                                                                                                          What is your opinion on raising the minimum wage 30%?

                                                                                                          Any thoughts on the impact on your economy as a result of said increase?

                                                                                                          I'm sure any minimu wage workers out there would love the idea..... but employers on the other hand.....

Intersting thing is the meal at McDonals was about $11-12. I live in MN and our minimum is $5.25 or so and so is a meal at McDonalds.

                                                                                                                              How do you stave off something that is an inevitability as a result of the increase?

                                                                                                                              kenny is right. If your minimum wage is at $7.25 and you're making $9 per hour on your job..... then they raise the min wage to $10/hr, you're not only going to get a raise up to the minimum but you would want to be paid more. Why? Because at the old minimum wage you were $1.75/hr above it, you were thinking "hey, at least I'm not being page minimum wage, I'm worth more"....

                                                                                                                              After they raise up the minimum there would be 1000's such workers wanting to make the same scale of pay. They'd be wanting $11, $12, $13.50 etc. People who were making $15/hr before the increase would want a raise too, and so on and so on.

                                                                                                                              Is minimum wage really set so that people can comfortably live on it? I always thought of it as the minimum.... and since I was never happy with the minimum I worked smarter and eventually found my way to earning more than twice the minimum wage, then 3 times it..... etc.

                                                                                                                              I think a 30% increase to the minimum wage is too much, personally.

                                                                                                                                          I'm not fond of the minimum wage. I believe more in free enterprise, I think things usually work out in a competitive environment. Some agree, some disagree, thats just my opinion.

I always thought of it as the minimum.... and since I was never happy with the minimum I worked smarter and eventually found my way to earning more than twice the minimum wage, then 3 times it..... etc.

                                                                                                                                                  I think a 30% increase to the minimum wage is too much, personally.

What wasn't figured in was single parent families, multiple children, and a million other variables. The idea behind minimum wage no longer applies. Now minimum wage is typically for high school kids, college students, retired people looking for something to do, and the people who have no desire to work just a little bit harder to better their lives. The first 3 groups of people I mentioned get by fine, the 4th group has a little more difficulty and it has nothing to do with the money they don't make.
