minimum wage

Target currently pays their employees $10/hour but as of the end of 2020, that's changing and their pay is going up.

It's been talked about for months. Petitions and protests vying to make a difference not only in New York state but the country as a whole. Just when it was thought to be taking effect

I've discussed this one with myself many many times. The fight is getting interesting.

If you tell me yours, I'll tell you mine (but it might just give away my age!)

There are all kinds of statistics showing that New York's population is dwindling.  People are getting fed up with taxes and the cost of living.  Maybe we should move to Seattle

We may be just fine around here when we pull up to our local fast food drive through, but in many places around the Country fast food workers and some other chain store employees plan on walking off the job today, in a one day protest over low wages.

In New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo's State of The State Address he touched on a lot of items in the State. One of those was New York's minimum wage.

State- Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver proposed legislation this week that would raise the state’s minimum hourly wage to $8.50 and index it to the annual rate of inflation.  The current state minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, which matches the federal minimum wage set back in 2009.

Would you be willing to pay  more money per trip to Walmart if it meant the employees could make a livable wage?  Walmart has around 1.4 million workers and the majority of them make minimum wage or a little bit more.  That is not a lot of money my friends...
