Savezna minimalna plaća je najniža plaća u kojem poslodavci mogu platiti svoje zaposlenike. Od 24. srpnja 2009. godine američka savezna minimalna plaća je postavljena na 7.25 $ po satu. U 2014. godini predsjednik Obama predložio podizanje savezne minimalne plaće za 10,10 $ i vezali za indeks inflacije. Savezna minimalna plaća primjenjuje se na sve zaposlenike, uključujući saveznim one koji rade na vojne baze, nacionalnim parkovima i branitelja koji rade u staračkim domovima.

Radnici trebaju dobijati onoliku plaću koliko su radili tog radnog dana
@ISIDEWITH5 mjeseci5MO
Što mislite o konceptu ’plaće za život’ gdje se minimalna plaća temelji na troškovima osnovnih potreba u vašem području u odnosu na fiksnu stopu za cijelu zemlju?
@ISIDEWITH5 mjeseci5MO
Vjerujete li da bi povećanje minimalne plaće moglo utjecati na kvalitetu usluga ili proizvoda jer poduzeća pokušavaju smanjiti troškove drugdje?
@ISIDEWITH5 mjeseci5MO
Kako bi veća minimalna plaća mogla utjecati na vašu zajednicu, posebno u područjima gdje mnogi ljudi rade poslove s minimalnom plaćom?
@ISIDEWITH5 mjeseci5MO
Koji su neki od izazova s kojima mislite da bi se tinejdžeri mogli suočiti pri pronalaženju poslova sa skraćenim radnim vremenom kad bi poslodavci morali plaćati višu minimalnu plaću?
@ISIDEWITH5 mjeseci5MO
Da su početne plaće veće, mislite li da bi to promijenilo vašu odluku o odlasku na fakultet ili odabiru određenog puta u karijeri?
@ISIDEWITH5 mjeseci5MO
Zamislite da vaša omiljena mala tvrtka mora više plaćati svoje radnike; mislite li da bi to promijenilo način na koji rade ili usluge koje nude?
@ISIDEWITH5 mjeseci5MO
Što mislite kako bi povećanje minimalne plaće moglo utjecati na cijene stvari koje redovito kupujete poput hrane, odjeće ili zabave?
@ISIDEWITH5 mjeseci5MO
Možete li podijeliti osobno iskustvo gdje bi veća zarada znatno poboljšala vašu ili tuđu dobrobit i kako je to utjecalo na vas?
@ISIDEWITH5 mjeseci5MO
Jeste li ikada osjetili da je posao koji ste vi ili netko koga poznajete imao manje plaćen od vrijednosti posla i što biste smatrali poštenom plaćom?
@ISIDEWITH5 mjeseci5MO
Kako bi vam se život promijenio da vam je prvi posao znatno više plaćen zbog povećanja minimalne plaće?
@gjp1023 god3Y
only if those receiving the new wage understand the consequences of paying for their own insurance and other benefits now paid for by employers...including their half of social security as do all self employed workers.
@2JMLJVV3 god3Y
I support a sliding minimum wage based on location or profession.
@2JMLBV73 god3Y
Maybe...but this is NOT the solution, but this may help for the short term...and I would suggest that the increase targeted to specific industry's and firm of a size exceeding a certain threshold
@2JM4WJJ3 god3Y
Leave it up to the business world. Fair companies will get good workers. Get the government out of our lives.
@2JLGNVC3 god3Y
No. The government should step out of price controls/subsidies and allow the economy to be an economy truly based in capitalism.
@2JL6ZRV3 god3Y
The system is rigged anyway, arguing over these listed points is only keeping the middle class down.
@2JL2RFB3 god3Y
NO, doing that will certainly kill a lot of businesses.
Those jobs are never meant to be homestead supporting jobs. We don't need immigrants coming in to fill these type of jobs either. We do however need to be able to get public transportation to where minimum wage workers can get to those jobs that can not afford cars with high property taxes and high cost insurance. (Ever notice how many of these insurance companies have high dollar television ads? I'm fed up with Geckos and Flo, aren't you?) $4.00 a gallon for gas didn't help either.
@2JKYYLY3 god3Y
yes, and make it dependent on living situation (age, number of dependents, rent costs etc.)
@2JKYWNC3 god3Y
stop the mass importation of foreign workers, this will raise the wages at the bottom
@2JKYS7N3 god3Y
No but corporations with more than 10% of their workforce eligible for government assistance should pay a tax penalty
@2JKXPKH3 god3Y
minimum wage is not meant to be a living wage...it provides entry level opportunities that would not otherwise exist.
@2JKWXTL3 god3Y
We should adjust and raise the minimum wage but we should also address that even starting salaries have not risen with inflation over the last 20 years.
@2JKVP6L3 god3Y
Yes, and maybe there would be a way to offer certificate programs or other higher education to those who are interested, using some of the added income tax to help subsidize them.
@2JKQRV63 god3Y
Society has an obligation to support each person to live a life worthy of living as defined by each such person
@2JKMXPQ3 god3Y
Living wage for people over a certain age. Businesses would not be able to fire people though as they age just for getting older.
Leave the minimum wage alone, but require companies to limit outsourcing, and to produce within the U.S.
@2JKBM7F3 god3Y
Yes. While this is a short term solution to a problem that is much more systemic. Modern economics had reached a stalemate with technology and the need for scarcity has become nothing more than ploy to continue to consolidate power
@2JK9WSH3 god3Y
money should be directed to job training and creating better jobs
@heinrich3 god3Y
Yes, but W Buffet recently made a very good point that adjusting income tax credits could have a more powerful and positive impact
@2JK7PTZ3 god3Y
Let free market handle the payment range but have a set standard to ensure safety
@2JJX8VF3 god3Y
Replace minimum wage and welfare benefits with a Guaranteed Basic Income for all Americans.
@2JJN3673 god3Y
Yes, and place caps on price increases relative to the wage increase
@2JJMBWHRepublikanski3 god3Y
The minimum wage should have a C.O.L.A. built into it and that would solve the problem. The democrats use it constantly as a hammer at election time then never do anything about it anyway.
@2JJJB7B3 god3Y
Yes and eatablish a maximum wage as well.
First get our currency back on the Gold Standard to secure inflation, than set a minimum wage according to the value of gold.
@NNF34W3 god3Y
Minimum wage is not relevant to anything. You are worth what you bring to the workplace. If I choose to have a starting wage of $2.50 per hour and no one applies I will have to raise the wage until I get to a number where I have sufficient applicants to fill the openings. Minimum wage jobs are entry level, they are not now or ever have been intended to support a family on. They are intended for youth as a learning foundation of what is needed regarding job skills, attitude, commitments, work ethic etc. to move to the levels above. Case in point - If I owned a McDonalds franchise I would pay… Čitaj više
@NKDHFZ3 god3Y
There should be two minimum wage levels set, one for smaller independent businesses and for multinational businesses. Smaller businesses can pay the present amount (ex. $8.00) or raise a new floor level to ($9.00). On the other hand, multinational businesses and companies would have to pay at least, for example $9.50 or $10.00.
@NJDZZ93 god3Y
The issue is the maximum wage, not the minimum. Companies need to distribute profit not only to shareholders, but to employees in the form of increased wages.
@M34PRX3 god3Y
Before we talk about raising the minimum wage, taxes for the job providers must be lowered significantly (both on the state and federal levels)and all unnecessary regulations should be eliminated. If that is done, more jobs will be created because the more money the job providers have, the more jobs they can create, the better able existing businesses will be to expand, more businesses can be more easily established thus bringing in more jobs and opportunities; producing a more competitive environment which would provided businesses and corporations to offer better services, and a greater… Čitaj više
@LHRHCK3 god3Y
Yes, because we have people starving on the streets because they don't get paid enough.
