A helpful guide to stealing labor
“CareerBuilder,” one of the many odious American job hunting sites published a handy guide to the stealing of labor in the US.
It’s called “a quick guide to minimum wage.”
Readers can see how penurious all the red states are, either below the national minimum wage or with no minimum wage law at all. The federal minimum wage is a big $7.25. In Georgia, they pay $5.15. And in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Tennessee, there is no minimum wage law at all. How surprising. (They may have lost the Civil War but …)
“Today, people still debate what should be considered an acceptable hourly wage, how changes to it might affect businesses and how much the government should be involved in the issue,” writes some minor minion of the devil.
