No offense intended to CA forum members but will this insanity ever end? I think fast food workers make around 15-16 bucks an hour in Texas and if so we're not much better. The cost of fast food is already crazy high.
 
I've seen signs on fast food places around here saying "Help Wanted $13 per hour, Managers $18". So I guess that's the going rate here. That seems decent enough for their target employee range, namely teenagers. How any adult could hope to make a living in a place like that is beyond me. :rolleyes:
Always remember that with fast food you're paying for the convenience. Because it sure ain't for the food. :poop:
 
if ca's reasoning is for inflation, then farmers should get the same..........they don't, but they do at the granaries! corn producers are the biggest example of "make it or lose it"! with the cost of water, seed and fertilizer alone it can cost around $600-700/acre to produce (not counting herbicide, pesticide, tilling & harvesting). in many cases it takes a bumper crop which is at least 30+ bushels/acre over break even (around 220-240). wheat isn't near as bad when it comes to this as it's a fall season, except for hard red wheat that used for pasta (or similar types) and not for bread. most hard red is planted in the late winter to early spring (feb-mar) depending on region grown. we did this 1 year and a place out of the denton/mckinney area bought the whole crop, so not to have it shipped from the northern states.

Those jobs were never to be a career, only for kids and someone looking for part time job to earn extra money. If they want to earn real money they need to work in a real job!

minimum wage here in RI is at $14.00 per hour.

for me, a senior citizen, wanting to work as say a custodian that i have been seeking, is enough for me to earn "mad money", and still have my SS and small pension.

this is true, that minimum wage jobs were meant for "part time" hours/work, for moms that needed "mother hours" which are typically when the kids are in school, or full time workers that needed extra money.

it was never meant to make a long term living out of, unless one went into management, and moved up the ladder.

The purpose of the minimum wage was to stabilize the post-depression economy and protect the workers in the labor force. The minimum wage was designed to create a minimum standard of living to protect the health and well-being of employees.

minimum wage

www.law.cornell.edu www.law.cornell.edu

states can have a higher minimum wage over the federal.
 
One of my first jobs in school was for $1.10/hr. As noted, these jobs are for entry level jobs so one can gain experience for something better that can support early lifestyles. My next real job was in the $4/hr. range in a factory where I learned how to weld and sweat. FF jobs are not meant to be enough to live on and we are killing those businesses trying to make them so.
