Money, Money, Money...Is it really going to save our country?


The states that have the highest minimum wage is Washington, Oregon, Illinois, Nevada, Montana, Colorado, Ohio, Florida, New Jersey, New York, Vermont, Connecticut. These states cost more to live there so they have a higher minimum wage so people can support their financial lives. Minnesota is the only state that has a lower minimum wage out of all 50 states. All the other states have the same minimum wage or a higher minimum wage. Most states have the same amount of minimum wage which is good. I don't think raising minimum rage is the answer to our economic crisis. I think razing minimum wage can make the economy better in a way. The more money people have can help the economy because they should have enough to pay their bills, debts, etc. The only problem is; would people earn that money? Many people work because they need money to pay bills, but if the minimum wage is raised, people may not even work to earn that money. They would probably just show up and do their shift and go home. People would only care about getting money and not about how good they are at doing their job. One reason minimum wage shouldn't be increased is because the amount of people that would want to work now because the amount per hour increased. There may not be any available jobs if everyone wants to work just because the amount of money was raised. People that would benefit from minimum wage would be people who can't afford to pay any of their bills, and lower class people. These people benefit the minimum wage raise because they can't always afford the things they need and those people work hard at their jobs and in today's society they still can't afford money. I don't think minimum wage should be increased. If other states that have the same minimum wage increases, then everyone else that has the same should be increased as well. I also think that all the states minimum wage should be the same amount. Some states, even if they are expensive to live in, all should have the same minimum wage. There should be no states that are higher or lower than others. Everyone should be treated equal. To fix the economy crisis, I would increase the minimum wage to the same as the higher states and make sure that everyone is treated equally throughout the 50 states. It's not fair that some states are higher than others and most of them are the same. If there are a few that are the highest, all the states should be the highest. I don't think anything can fix the economy crisis in the United States.
