$15 and hour vs. Military

[DragonStryk72]

How long ago? I would have guessed that various factors would have meant workers could have commanded higher wages than the minimum. I remember awhile back that the effective minimum wage even in suburban Atlanta was like around $9 even at fast food places.

As of 2013, at least. I still have family in NYC, so I usually get to listen to a lot of the bitching about issues like minimum wage.

That surprises me but it's what you get when you have excess supply or insufficient demand.

Also, lazy legislators who wait for basically a screaming majority to do anything to address the issue.
