No

Minimum wage should be increased due to the liability of others not being able to live off minimum wage.

People need to be able to afford the basic needs to life. How can we have equal opportunities without fair pay

Inflation rose prices so much and it is so much harder to sustain a life on minimum wage now then it was 20 or so years ago

STOP raising the minimum wage! It’s already too high, & everything is already ridiculously expensive thanks to Joe Biden’s causes for skyrocketing inflation & unemployment rates. He has done absolutely nothing, & minimum wage raises do nothing but screw the rest of us over because of huge price hikes. It’s bad enough mcdonald’s employees are getting paid close to what trade skill jobs offer… that is pathetic.

Every increase in minimum wage has resulted in a downsizing of workforce, the elimination of a segment of workforce (teenagers at fast food), or an increase in illegal immigration hires. Let the market set the rate because the consumers will always restrict how much and how often they are willing to pay for the goods and services.

Why would you want those workers to be paid so little? Pray tell why you would not support someone who works at a job and receives so little for their efforts. I believe that everyone deserves to be paid adequately for their skills and the amount of effort they put into their job, and it seems that you don't.

You should have some opinion on whether you want the minimum wage to increase, decrease, or stay the same because if you dont companies will use that to their advantage to keep things the same for anyone who does want change.

The current minimum wage isn't enough for people to be able to afford basics needs, like food, shelter, water, and power.

everything in the world requires money and the prices of everything is increasing so there needs to be a minimum wage but not just a minimum wage it needs to be raised

As a worker who provides customer service for others I think I should get a say in how much I should be payed to pay for this community.

Minimum wage was set when you could buy a house for 25000 dollars now a house runs 35000 dollars no one can live off of minimum wage

If someone wants to make a desired income, they must work for that and prove to the business and government that they have earned that wage.

We've seen prices increase along with inflation regardless of a change in the minimum wage. The only real effect raising the minimum wage has on our economy, is higher disposable incomes for the lower income brackets. That provides more GDP growth with consumer spending along with making basic necessities more affordable for everyone. The costs will change completely independent of worker salaries to a point.

For an example, the (AUV) or average revenue of a McDonalds franchise is $3,505,000 a year. If the restaurant had 50 employees total, each of them receiving previously $10 an hour,…  Read more an increase of wages to $20 an hour (a pretty extreme increase) would still have the franchise profiting "Initial profit" $3,505,000 -"Raises" of $780,000 = "Profit after raises" $2,725,000. The only way an increase in wages could make a McDonald's franchise unprofitable would be if they gave a $45 raise, on top of the previous wages.

When looking at the data on inflation, the minimum wage, the wage gaps in America, the shrinking middle and upper class, and seeing the accumulation of more wealth in fewer hands than ever in history, I do not see how anyone could be against it.

Inflations is so much higher now that the current minimum wage can not live alone on it compared to before.

The Federal Minimum Wage is an outdated income source from 2009. Some companies can take advantage of this in local restaurants and make employees hope that tips will give them enough income to survive. The necessity to raise the Federal Minimum Wage is dire as there needs to be an increased chance for people to avoid huge debts from not earning enough money within the respective businesses they are employed in.

You can't really argue with this, they are taking a neutral stance and obviously do not care about the topic

We should there are many people out there that deserver the ability to live especially if they are working
