Also.... This morning on my news feed I came across an interesting article about the minimum wage for NYC resturant workers.
It seems they raised the minimum wage for resturant workers to $15/hour and people thought the entire restaurant industry would collapse in NYC. Instead, they are doing great and the employees are making a decent wage.

I remember one of my daughter's friends got her first job while in high school working as a hostess in a restaurant in a retirement community. Her first job - an entry level job - paid $15/hour.
