Den federala minimilönen är den lägsta lön som arbetsgivare får ge sina anställda. Sedan 24 juli 2009 har den amerikanska federala minimilönen legat på 7,25 dollar i timmen. 2014 föreslog president Obama att höja den federala minimilönen till 10,10 dollar och knyta den till en inflationsidex. Den federala minimilönen påverkar alla statligt anställda, inklusive de som arbetar på militärbaser, i nationalparker och veteraner som arbetar på vårdhem.

Håller med:
@9RGJ5QRSverigedemokraterna
Ja, och gör den till en lön man kan leva på samt justera den varje år efter inflationen. Men starta även en ny grupp som anpassar sig efter unga vuxna i åldern 16-19 år där deras löner är mindre men i kombination så betalar de mindre skatt.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Vad tycker du om konceptet med en "levnadslön" där minimilönen är baserad på kostnaden för grundläggande behov i ditt område kontra en schablonbelopp för hela landet?
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Tror du att en höjning av minimilönen kan påverka kvaliteten på tjänster eller produkter när företag försöker sänka kostnaderna någon annanstans?
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Hur kan en högre minimilön påverka ditt samhälle, särskilt i områden där många människor arbetar med minimilön?
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Vilka är några av de utmaningar som du tror att tonåringar kan möta med att hitta deltidsjobb om arbetsgivare var tvungna att betala en högre minimilön?
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Om ingångslönerna var högre, tror du att det skulle ändra ditt beslut om att gå på college eller välja en viss karriärväg?
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Föreställ dig om ditt favoritsmåföretag skulle behöva betala sina anställda mer; tror du att det skulle förändra hur de fungerar eller de tjänster de erbjuder?
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Hur tror du att en höjning av minimilönen kan påverka priserna på saker du köper regelbundet som mat, kläder eller underhållning?
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Kan du dela med dig av en personlig upplevelse där att tjäna mer skulle ha förbättrat ditt eller någon annans välbefinnande avsevärt och hur det påverkade dig?
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Har du någonsin känt att ett jobb du eller någon du känner hade betalade mindre än vad arbetet var värt, och vad skulle du betrakta som en rimlig lön?
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Hur skulle ditt liv förändras om ditt första jobb betalade dig betydligt mer på grund av en höjd minimilön?
@gjp1024 år4Y
only if those receiving the new wage understand the consequences of paying for their own insurance and other benefits now paid for by employers...including their half of social security as do all self employed workers.
@2JMLJVV4 år4Y
I support a sliding minimum wage based on location or profession.
@2JMLBV74 år4Y
Maybe...but this is NOT the solution, but this may help for the short term...and I would suggest that the increase targeted to specific industry's and firm of a size exceeding a certain threshold
@2JM4WJJ4 år4Y
Leave it up to the business world. Fair companies will get good workers. Get the government out of our lives.
@2JLGNVC4 år4Y
No. The government should step out of price controls/subsidies and allow the economy to be an economy truly based in capitalism.
@2JL6ZRV4 år4Y
The system is rigged anyway, arguing over these listed points is only keeping the middle class down.
@2JL2RFB4 år4Y
NO, doing that will certainly kill a lot of businesses.
Those jobs are never meant to be homestead supporting jobs. We don't need immigrants coming in to fill these type of jobs either. We do however need to be able to get public transportation to where minimum wage workers can get to those jobs that can not afford cars with high property taxes and high cost insurance. (Ever notice how many of these insurance companies have high dollar television ads? I'm fed up with Geckos and Flo, aren't you?) $4.00 a gallon for gas didn't help either.
@2JKYYLY4 år4Y
yes, and make it dependent on living situation (age, number of dependents, rent costs etc.)
@2JKYWNC4 år4Y
stop the mass importation of foreign workers, this will raise the wages at the bottom
@2JKYS7N4 år4Y
No but corporations with more than 10% of their workforce eligible for government assistance should pay a tax penalty
@2JKXPKH4 år4Y
minimum wage is not meant to be a living wage...it provides entry level opportunities that would not otherwise exist.
@2JKWXTL4 år4Y
We should adjust and raise the minimum wage but we should also address that even starting salaries have not risen with inflation over the last 20 years.
@2JKVP6L4 år4Y
Yes, and maybe there would be a way to offer certificate programs or other higher education to those who are interested, using some of the added income tax to help subsidize them.
@2JKQRV64 år4Y
Society has an obligation to support each person to live a life worthy of living as defined by each such person
@2JKMXPQ4 år4Y
Living wage for people over a certain age. Businesses would not be able to fire people though as they age just for getting older.
Leave the minimum wage alone, but require companies to limit outsourcing, and to produce within the U.S.
@2JKBM7F4 år4Y
Yes. While this is a short term solution to a problem that is much more systemic. Modern economics had reached a stalemate with technology and the need for scarcity has become nothing more than ploy to continue to consolidate power
@2JK9WSH4 år4Y
money should be directed to job training and creating better jobs
@heinrich4 år4Y
Yes, but W Buffet recently made a very good point that adjusting income tax credits could have a more powerful and positive impact
@2JK7PTZ4 år4Y
Let free market handle the payment range but have a set standard to ensure safety
@2JJX8VF4 år4Y
Replace minimum wage and welfare benefits with a Guaranteed Basic Income for all Americans.
@2JJN3674 år4Y
Yes, and place caps on price increases relative to the wage increase
@2JJMBWHRepublikan4 år4Y
The minimum wage should have a C.O.L.A. built into it and that would solve the problem. The democrats use it constantly as a hammer at election time then never do anything about it anyway.
@2JJJB7B4 år4Y
Yes and eatablish a maximum wage as well.
First get our currency back on the Gold Standard to secure inflation, than set a minimum wage according to the value of gold.
@NNF34W4 år4Y
Minimum wage is not relevant to anything. You are worth what you bring to the workplace. If I choose to have a starting wage of $2.50 per hour and no one applies I will have to raise the wage until I get to a number where I have sufficient applicants to fill the openings. Minimum wage jobs are entry level, they are not now or ever have been intended to support a family on. They are intended for youth as a learning foundation of what is needed regarding job skills, attitude, commitments, work ethic etc. to move to the levels above. Case in point - If I owned a McDonalds franchise I would pay… Läs mer

There should be two minimum wage levels set, one for smaller independent businesses and for multinational businesses. Smaller businesses can pay the present amount (ex. $8.00) or raise a new floor level to ($9.00). On the other hand, multinational businesses and companies would have to pay at least, for example $9.50 or $10.00.
@NJDZZ94 år4Y
The issue is the maximum wage, not the minimum. Companies need to distribute profit not only to shareholders, but to employees in the form of increased wages.
@M34PRX4 år4Y
Before we talk about raising the minimum wage, taxes for the job providers must be lowered significantly (both on the state and federal levels)and all unnecessary regulations should be eliminated. If that is done, more jobs will be created because the more money the job providers have, the more jobs they can create, the better able existing businesses will be to expand, more businesses can be more easily established thus bringing in more jobs and opportunities; producing a more competitive environment which would provided businesses and corporations to offer better services, and a greater… Läs mer
@LHRHCK4 år4Y
Yes, because we have people starving on the streets because they don't get paid enough.
