In Reply to: OT - minimum wage posted by jimg.allentown on January 11, 2018 at 19:26:21:
Up here in Alberta, I think the minimum wage just went up to maybe $13.50 per hour. Keep in mind those are Canadian dollars ..... and an 1100 square foot bungalow in a residential area here costs maybe $350,000 to $400,000 which of course is ridiculous (the house price I'm referring to). I don't envy nor pass judgement on anyone living on a minimum wage (or trying to). I don't mind some of my tax dollars helping the less fortunate or providing health care for them. I guess that makes me one of the hated lefties that are often flamed here on the YT site. Getting back to the minimum wage though, I suspect that if there was no such thing, those people that are getting $13.50 today would likely be getting something closer to half of that. Why would a business whose purpose is to make profits for themselves or their shareholders pay twice as much for labor than they have to? Out of the goodness of their heart? Ha, I don't think so. The fact that so much North American manufacturing moved to Asia and other places is proof of that, they didn't move to improve conditions in those offshore countries.
