We’ve also completely failed to provide adequate opportunities for these workers to gain the skills and education to be able to do something more valuable with their time. That’s a problem the minimum wage can’t solve. There’s a threshold where people will just become unemployable under that model without more investment in them.
- lostapathy 5y agoI completely agree. However, raising the minimum wage does nothing to address the skills gap at the bottom. If anything, one could argue raising the minimum wage would reduce incentive to acquire better skills and get a better job. Why put in the work to level up if those better jobs don't pay appreciably better anyway?
