Het federale minimumloon is het laagste salaris dat werkgevers aan hun werknemers mogen betalen. Sinds 24 juli 2009 is het Amerikaanse federale minimumloon 7,25 dollar per uur. In 2014 stelde president Obama voor om het federale minimumloon tot 10,10 dollar te verhogen en het aan een inflatie-index te koppelen. Het federale minimumloon is van toepassing op alle federale werknemers, inclusief degenen die werken op militaire basissen, in nationale parken en veteranen die in verzorgingshuizen werken.

Het geld moet afgeschaft worden en de overheid moet als tussen orgaan alles verzorgen.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Wat vindt u van het concept van een ’leefbaar loon’, waarbij het minimumloon gebaseerd is op de kosten van de basisbehoeften in uw regio, versus een vast tarief voor het hele land?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Bent u van mening dat het verhogen van het minimumloon de kwaliteit van de dienstverlening of producten kan beïnvloeden als bedrijven elders op de kosten proberen te besparen?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Welke gevolgen kan een hoger minimumloon voor uw gemeenschap hebben, vooral in gebieden waar veel mensen een baan met een minimumloon hebben?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Wat zijn volgens u enkele van de uitdagingen waarmee tieners te maken kunnen krijgen bij het vinden van een deeltijdbaan als werkgevers een hoger minimumloon zouden moeten betalen?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Als de instapsalarissen hoger zouden zijn, denkt u dan dat dit uw beslissing om naar de universiteit te gaan of een bepaald carrièrepad te kiezen zou veranderen?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Stel je voor dat jouw favoriete kleine bedrijf zijn werknemers meer zou moeten betalen; Denkt u dat dit de manier waarop zij opereren of de diensten die zij aanbieden zal veranderen?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Hoe denkt u dat het verhogen van het minimumloon de prijzen zou kunnen beïnvloeden van dingen die u regelmatig koopt, zoals voedsel, kleding of amusement?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Kunt u een persoonlijke ervaring delen waarbij meer verdienen het welzijn van u of iemand anders aanzienlijk zou hebben verbeterd en welke invloed dit op u heeft gehad?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Heeft u ooit het gevoel gehad dat een baan die u of iemand die u kent, minder opbracht dan wat het werk waard was, en wat zou u als een eerlijk loon beschouwen?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Hoe zou uw leven veranderen als uw eerste baan u aanzienlijk meer zou opleveren vanwege een hoger minimumloon?
@gjp1023 jaar3Y
only if those receiving the new wage understand the consequences of paying for their own insurance and other benefits now paid for by employers...including their half of social security as do all self employed workers.
@2JMLJVV3 jaar3Y
I support a sliding minimum wage based on location or profession.
@2JMLBV73 jaar3Y
Maybe...but this is NOT the solution, but this may help for the short term...and I would suggest that the increase targeted to specific industry's and firm of a size exceeding a certain threshold
@2JM4WJJ3 jaar3Y
Leave it up to the business world. Fair companies will get good workers. Get the government out of our lives.
@2JLGNVC3 jaar3Y
No. The government should step out of price controls/subsidies and allow the economy to be an economy truly based in capitalism.
@2JL6ZRV4 jaar4Y
The system is rigged anyway, arguing over these listed points is only keeping the middle class down.
@2JL2RFB3 jaar3Y
NO, doing that will certainly kill a lot of businesses.
Those jobs are never meant to be homestead supporting jobs. We don't need immigrants coming in to fill these type of jobs either. We do however need to be able to get public transportation to where minimum wage workers can get to those jobs that can not afford cars with high property taxes and high cost insurance. (Ever notice how many of these insurance companies have high dollar television ads? I'm fed up with Geckos and Flo, aren't you?) $4.00 a gallon for gas didn't help either.
@2JKYYLY4 jaar4Y
yes, and make it dependent on living situation (age, number of dependents, rent costs etc.)
@2JKYWNC3 jaar3Y
stop the mass importation of foreign workers, this will raise the wages at the bottom
@2JKYS7N3 jaar3Y
No but corporations with more than 10% of their workforce eligible for government assistance should pay a tax penalty
@2JKXPKH3 jaar3Y
minimum wage is not meant to be a living wage...it provides entry level opportunities that would not otherwise exist.
@2JKWXTL3 jaar3Y
We should adjust and raise the minimum wage but we should also address that even starting salaries have not risen with inflation over the last 20 years.
@2JKVP6L4 jaar4Y
Yes, and maybe there would be a way to offer certificate programs or other higher education to those who are interested, using some of the added income tax to help subsidize them.
@2JKQRV63 jaar3Y
Society has an obligation to support each person to live a life worthy of living as defined by each such person
@2JKMXPQ3 jaar3Y
Living wage for people over a certain age. Businesses would not be able to fire people though as they age just for getting older.
@2JKF2KVOnafhankelijk3 jaar3Y
Leave the minimum wage alone, but require companies to limit outsourcing, and to produce within the U.S.
@2JKBM7F3 jaar3Y
Yes. While this is a short term solution to a problem that is much more systemic. Modern economics had reached a stalemate with technology and the need for scarcity has become nothing more than ploy to continue to consolidate power
@2JK9WSH3 jaar3Y
money should be directed to job training and creating better jobs
@heinrich3 jaar3Y
Yes, but W Buffet recently made a very good point that adjusting income tax credits could have a more powerful and positive impact
@2JK7PTZ3 jaar3Y
Let free market handle the payment range but have a set standard to ensure safety
@2JJX8VF3 jaar3Y
Replace minimum wage and welfare benefits with a Guaranteed Basic Income for all Americans.
@2JJN3673 jaar3Y
Yes, and place caps on price increases relative to the wage increase
@2JJMBWHRepublikein3 jaar3Y
The minimum wage should have a C.O.L.A. built into it and that would solve the problem. The democrats use it constantly as a hammer at election time then never do anything about it anyway.
@2JJJB7B4 jaar4Y
Yes and eatablish a maximum wage as well.
First get our currency back on the Gold Standard to secure inflation, than set a minimum wage according to the value of gold.
@NNF34W3 jaar3Y
Minimum wage is not relevant to anything. You are worth what you bring to the workplace. If I choose to have a starting wage of $2.50 per hour and no one applies I will have to raise the wage until I get to a number where I have sufficient applicants to fill the openings. Minimum wage jobs are entry level, they are not now or ever have been intended to support a family on. They are intended for youth as a learning foundation of what is needed regarding job skills, attitude, commitments, work ethic etc. to move to the levels above. Case in point - If I owned a McDonalds franchise I would pay… Lees verder

There should be two minimum wage levels set, one for smaller independent businesses and for multinational businesses. Smaller businesses can pay the present amount (ex. $8.00) or raise a new floor level to ($9.00). On the other hand, multinational businesses and companies would have to pay at least, for example $9.50 or $10.00.
@NJDZZ94 jaar4Y
The issue is the maximum wage, not the minimum. Companies need to distribute profit not only to shareholders, but to employees in the form of increased wages.
@M34PRX3 jaar3Y
Before we talk about raising the minimum wage, taxes for the job providers must be lowered significantly (both on the state and federal levels)and all unnecessary regulations should be eliminated. If that is done, more jobs will be created because the more money the job providers have, the more jobs they can create, the better able existing businesses will be to expand, more businesses can be more easily established thus bringing in more jobs and opportunities; producing a more competitive environment which would provided businesses and corporations to offer better services, and a greater… Lees verder
@LHRHCK3 jaar3Y
Yes, because we have people starving on the streets because they don't get paid enough.
