What Donald Trump Doesn’t Get About the Minimum Wage
States have raised minimum wages, but the raises, while crucial, are not a substitute for a higher federal minimum."Legislators in states with no or low minimum wages often say businesses cannot afford to pay more. The evidence says otherwise. Owners and executives of profitable companies in retail, fast food, poultry processing and other low-wage industries have grown richer while the workers have languished. Jobs in such fields pay poorly not for any intrinsic reason but because employers don’t have to pay more in the absence of a higher federal minimum."
Empowering the workers to demand better wages is not on the table.
