    Fair Minimum Wage Would Be $22 An Hour

    Minimum wage raised as high as a skilled tradesman?

    Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) is calling for a drastic increase in the minimum wage.

    At a Senate Committee Hearing on Health, Education, and Labor, the senator argued that minimum wage could justifiably be raised to $22 an hour. Warren advocated for an increased rate based on a recent study showing what the wage would be if it reflected growth in worker productivity.

    "If we started in 1960 and we said that as productivity goes up, that is as workers are producing more, then the minimum wage is going to go up the same. And if that were the case then the minimum wage today would be about $22 an hour," she said.

    Warren added “So my question is…With a minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, what happened to the other $14.75? It sure didn’t go to the worker.”

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

                              Should be abolished. You'd be shocked how many Americans would happily take Mexican and Indian wages.

                                          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.

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.

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.
                                                                                                      This is about right IMHO. I agree with Sen Warren on a lot of issues but not this one if she really thinks we could actually raise it to $22/hr. My guess is she was just using that as an example/attention grabber and she probably doesn't expect it to ever happen.

                                                                                                      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.

And if that were the case then the minimum wage today would be about $22 an hour," she said.

                                                                                                                  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.

This is both cause and effect. One reason companies are so profitable is that they?re paying employees less than they ever have as a share of GDP. And that, in turn, is one reason the economy is so weak: Those ?wages? are other companies? revenue.

That's why FDR signed that law in the first place.

It's just like when I've done freelancing and someone tries to talk you down, eventually I put my foot down and say that they are welcome to go elsewhere and I give plenty of examples but tell them if they expect that much they'll be going around in circles wasting time and crossing their fingers.

Always ironic that the coupon clippers live in trailers.
