I think you’d be surprised at just how many workers have effectively voted to send their own jobs overseas. They don’t know they’re doing it because politicians don’t call the bills the Send Jobs Overseas Act, they call it “raising the minimum wage” or “opening up the Chinese market”.
- bandyaboot 5y agoHow does raising the minimum wage send jobs to China? We’re talking almost exclusively about service jobs.
- throwaway894345 5y agoYes, that is the case now, but I’m talking about the last 50 years. Raising the minimum wage also prevents jobs from returning from China. I’m not arguing that there aren’t benefits to raising the minimum wage, but I don’t think it’s the unmitigated good that some people make it out to be.
