Miniumum Wage, Do Not Engage
Hello there my name is Greg your average everyday teen, I think to myself each day that one day i'm gonna have to expand my way of life and adjust to world through the military and college. I hear that people who do minimum jobs want an increase of 15/hr. so they can make a living off of it and make it a daily income!? To me personally this doesn't seem too right concerning that i will be making as an enlisted soldier (E1) about 18,378 a year! making $15 an hour is sort of an insult considering that my salary would be greatly decreased and i train for months for combat and how to do my job compared to learning over a week or so time at a fast food restaurant or a store.
According to Mark Wilson, if the minimum wage was increased then costs for the everyday items we buy would be increased; making it harder a lot more harder for the consumers to get a good price for their products. Along with the cost going up, another big problem is the hiring of new personnel due to the amount of money the corporations are willing to pay for each worker they want to employ. Also the hours of work an employee will start to become decreased even more. And the worst that can happen for workers if minimum wage is increased will be the benefits of workers will start to be reduced.
