Fun fact: minimum wage in Poland is also ~7.25 USD, even though Poland is ~4x poorer in terms of GDP per capita (nominal).
Maybe, if you live in an affordable place. MW is $16.50 in California and fast food workers get $20.
The minimum wage isn’t meant to be a livable wage.
Easy
This would be the wage for a high school student working a part-time/summer job to gain work experience, not for an adult; however, employers should NOT be paying adult employees such a low wage, no matter what the job entails.
Nobody gets paid $7.25/hour anymore. Starting pay at McDonalds, here in NH, is $15
Democrat inflation has made the min wage moot.
There should be no minimum wage. How many people posting here work for $7.25/hour?
Republicans will never support this 🤣
Less than 1.2% of US workers make $7.25. 68% of those who do are part time workers who do it for flexibility, some extra income, or are retired.
Someone tell little nina here to cut the minimum wage bs already
What are you 14 years old?
Why would anyone even apply for a job that pays $7.50 when almost every fast food job pays about twice as much
Another option would be to keep the same wage but have deflation instead of inflation.
Where do you find these $7.25 jobs?
That’s the point, they want you to accumulate debt
Every single person in the United States is able to survive on nothing. We are blessed. Never forget that
I am in Raleigh- and almost any fast food job- retail- all the lower end jobs pay at least $15 many $ 17-18. My daughter’s boyfriend is 20 and works for a carpet cleaning company- he gets a wage plus commissions. He is knocking down $1200-1400/ week. At age 20- moving some furniture and running a carpet cleaner.
Except in some impoverished areas of the country- I don’t think many are working for $7.25.
Democrats **AND** Republicans should come together? Democrats overwhelming want to get the minimum wage raised. If just a few Republicans agreed this would have happened already a few different times over the last couple decades.
Interesting way of saying Republicans should join Democrats in supporting an increased minimum wage.
And for every dollar that minimum wage goes up, so too does the price of everything else….neat how that works!
It’s funny how this tagline is parroted so much.
Please remind me, how many people are paid min wage AND name one major metropolitan city where you can get a job at this rate.
Fyi, there’s only 1.
Minimal wage in my country is $10 **for 8 hours of work…**
Republican states are still at 7.25. Blue states are at 14 and above. Red states also have worst education, worst health/diabetes, most unemployment and welfare recipients.
The billionaire trump appointed said no he won’t raise the minimum wage. Trump said he should dump it and let businesses say how much.
Good luck, maga states.
No adult should be working at jobs that pay $7.25/hour, what are you a highschool junior?
Or they could learn a skill and make better money
Change politicians’ salaries to minimum wage and watch how fast it raises.
Republicans and Democrats hate the working class. They always come together to give their billionaire owners whatever they want, and to kick the rest of us in the face. Just call them the capitalist party because that’s what they are. They will never be on your side.
The minimum wage shouldn’t exist. It never was meant to be a living wage. The minimum wage keeps small businesses from being able to survive and it makes large businesses larger.
Should make the minimum wage 200 dollars an hr so we all can be rich.
Who’s is saying it’s meant to survive on though. I think that’s the misconception.
