It may seem like a good thing, but no matter how high the minimum wage goes, it is always at the bottom.
Minimum wage is for people who want to get work experience and get ahead at the workplace. It could be raised to $100 and still be at the bottom.
The employer cannot keep raising wages without raising prices. All of the other employers who provide services to that employer also have to raise prices to keep up.
If more pay is wanted, get training or go to a community college.
Only the government gets ahead by collecting more taxes.
