WARNING! General Tom is going to preach!
Minimum Wage!
It increased yesterday to $6.55 nationally. There wasn't a lot of fanfare. The basic idea behind minimum wage is to guarantee unskilled workers a basic standard income level. It was never designed for the head of a household. It's sad that minimum wage is nowhere enough to raise a family. It's also sad that some of us are not worth minimum wage! I think the term is "unemployable." Slackers, people who drop out of high school for no reason, unwed jobless teenage parents, drunks and druggies.
Too many of us have jobs. Too few of us have careers!
