The government has neither the means nor desire to push the price to infinity. It normally pays starvation wages and for another 6 weeks will continue to pay a barely livable wage before returning to starvation wages.
Most the jobs they can't fill are 24 hours per week 8-12 bucks an hour slog fests for the not so princely sum of 800-1200 whereas people are getting paid 2500 in unemployment benefits NOT full time jobs paying substantially more than unemployment.
Your concerns are fanciful.
- missedthecue 5y agoI make $15.60 an hour at my job. These 'concerns' are my day-to-day life.
- michaelmrose 5y agoAs an employee making 15.60 what precisely is your concern with any temporary distortion of the price of low wage labor? I don't see how you could lose exactly?
- missedthecue 5y agoSomething that is good for me at the expense of everyone else probably shouldn't be happening.
