Over reliance on a minimum wage is bad. “Competitive pay” becomes $0.25 more per hour. Joke money. Also, businesses, if you offer the minimum don’t expect Doogie Howser brains and Gokus commitment and integrity.
Also remember bums and crackheads will do random work for cheaper and using the most desperate of society as a budget standard isn’t exactly smart. Know what’s even cheaper? Slaves. Feed them, house them, own them. Why even pay?
That’s why a minimum wage is healthy. Depends on the locations population, income, etc. Businesses are getting far too top heavy and that is a shitty reality. Nepotism is rife. Virtue signaling nonsense jobs eating away from those who actually contribute. It’s a mess.
Probbbbbably shouldn’t be aiming to pay less. Poor people can’t buy your shit.
Some people like to work for free because the job they like or it's a learning opportunity. Give me free opportunity to work with Warren buffet or one of his many genius investors. Heck some of my best life experiences and knowledge comes from working for nothing. Learnt my trade this way not to mention many great friends made along the way. Now I can charge a top dollar for my skills.
People who demand minimum wage don't offer much to society anyway and or they know very little about running a successful business. You will find 90% of them are pay check simps
