What will raising the minimum wage actually accomplish?

Don’t get me wrong, raise the minimum wage already, even set it to go up with inflation. However, unless we figure a way to get people to move out of their minimum wage jobs, we accomplish nothing.

  1. I equate raising the minimum wage to ring in a dingy. As the water level (wage base) goes up so does the dingy on the water.

    As wages go up so do the cost of products – hence no gain unless one educates or trains for a higher rung on the financial ladder of life.

    Sometimes the raise tosses the wage earner over the breakpoint for continued eligibility for other assistance like foodstuffs or energy assistance.
