President Biden is proposing an increase in the national minimum wage to $15. This is a hot button issue because the arguments that it will hurt hiring because businesses can't afford to hire more individuals. But on the other hand, it's argued that businesses won't have to hire more people because their workers won't leave as often because of the higher wages. So long term, businesses won't have to constantly find, hire and train up new employees who are less efficient.
What do you think? Should the national minimum wage be raised to $15 an hour?

There are several categories of small business that are unable to pay $15 per hour based on fixed revenues that can not be changed. Businesses like retail and food services will merely pass that cost on to consumers, but there are tons of businesses that do not have this luxury.
It seems like, between Coronavirus and streaming services like Netflix, the movie and theater industry as we know it might never look the same again. With LA being such a vital part of the movie economy, what do you think will happen next? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/28/business/media/hollywood-coronavirus-streaming.html #losangeles #coronavirus #economy
When the economy is booming or on a good turn around the local mostly agricultural and rural community where I live is always lagging behind a few years. We need more industry or manufacturing plants to stimulate the local economy. Can anyone help us? How does one attract more fortune 500 companies to the local valley?
Maybe we need to start something like the #meToo movement. It serves no purpose to suffer in silence. Spilling the beans on how long-term, huge-in-numbers and awful Unemployment has gotten may lead to government action to change things.
The more-than 80 types of distinct taxes each of us paid each year (1) on the money earned, (2) on the risks taken in investments in education and skills and business and (3) on anything bought or sold or owned that supported government should make it obligatory on the government to maintain those who did these things and were taxed.
America was started by a Tax Revolt.
We are not livestock to be whacked when we no-longer productive (employed and paying taxes).
Maybe it’s is time to organize into a political Force that can affect elections and make a change to recover the Opportunity of an America that no-longer exists.

Good question @Paul Baker ! I often find higher pay rates among local and regional size companies for the same roles larger, national companies, offer their employees. The federal minimum wage is at $7.25 right now so doubling it to $15 helps but it's not a permanent solution for workers seeking employment opportunities that offer minimum pay rates.
I believe the long term solution relies on better employee benefits. Work schedule flexibility, affordable health insurance, legal aid assistance, healthcare prevention programs, childcare spending accounts, Flexible spending healthcare programs, on the job skills training, leadership development programs, and aggressive career advancement opportunities are some employee benefit examples that help workers progress and retain employees.
Curious to see what other members have to share on this issue. Thanks
