How can anyone making near minimum wage ever get ahead? They won't. And if it were up to any business owner, minimum wage is still a bit too high! GREED.Congress has given themselves $14,000 raises per year for a job that requires only 120 days of attendance (a part-time job by most standards), while dragging their feet on an increase in minimum wage for nearly 8 years.GREED. Congress also has inflationary adjustsments built in, while minimum wage has none of sorts. Without a union or being able to vote your own pay increases and benefit packages into law, everyone would be near a minimum wage. Congress has no college degree requirement, and some of them do sound educationally deficient. Sorry, for going off on a tangent. WHY DON'T THEY TAKE A PAY DECREASE ....$176,000 FOR A PART TIME JOB...NOT WELL DONE...... KIND OF LIKE THE MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT, THAT CHARGES REGUARDLESS WHETHER THEY HELPED HEAL YOU OR NOT. That's another topic.
Valley's jobless put picture on grim statistics
