Maine's is already $12.15 per hour. They will be increasing it each year from now on. Essentially giving all the min wage workers a raise each year by law. Unfortunately the rest of us aren't so lucky so as prices go up from labor we are all left with less. I'm wondering at what point the guy bagging my groceries is making the same as I am. This is like a bad dream...but I've been awake for 4 hours. So the state can force private businesses to pay it? But the Feds cannot?

Parliamentarian ruled that it could not be included. This^^ Nancy knew this before they sent the bill up to the senate. The senate will strip it from the bill and pass it back to the house where they will not vote for it because there is no 15.00 wage. They will blame republicans in the senate for not getting what they promised to all the burger king employees that voted for the dems and then they will move on to infrastructure where they will try and hide it in that bill. Trust me when I say they have a plan and it is not a good one for most business owners. LLL

Low wage workers will be replaced by machines or kiosks. It will only make more people dependent on the government (Read working people). Hades - mart already started that with the checkout machines I noticed yesterday that more folks use the self-checkout than what use the live checkers. Personally I prefer the self-checkout as well.

Guess what, if the minimum wage goes to $15/hr, those people will still be the lowest paid folks in the U.S.A.. On a bright note, they will all be paying taxes. Might be an eye opener for some folks when they find out they are worse off with the higher minimum wage. Taxes + Inflation = Lower Standard of Living.

Of course this is all for less than a percentage of all above board wage earners.

I went to a McD a couple weeks ago. The kiosks were shut down and still no inside eating. I left as I couldn't get waited on. The line of people who hadn't got what they ordered was longer than the line of people ordering. I went to a second McD where I got gift cards to send the Grandkids for Valentines Day. The checkout gal didn't know how to do it so she had to call another employee to show her how. We're not moving forward.

Least you could go onto a McD...all the ones around here are drive through only. See, they're already preparing for $15 minimum wage as there's already a shortage of workers!

Went thru a BK drive thru last week. The girl working the window had her left arm amputated at the elbow. She would take the money in a metal tray and give the change back in the tray. The girl was doing a fine job. And there's healthy folks at 100% refusing to work as unemployment pays better.

Most jobs here are already 12-15 an hour starting pay. Tons of signs out at businesses looking for workers.
The federal minimum wage needs a bump in my opinion. Accounting for inflation it 10 was dollars an hour in 1970 and 1980. 15 is high but 10 would be acceptable.
