Should the government raise the national minimum wage?
The minimum wage in France is €9.61 per hour per hour for workers who are over 18 years of age and have at least 6 months of training. France has the third highest minimum wage in the EU behind the UK (€10.20) and the Luxembourg (€11.10). France was the first European country to pass a minimum wage law in 1950. In 2013, President François Hollande raised the minimum wage twice even as Germany and other North European countries called for wage restraint in an effort to decrease debt. Mr. Hollande’s wage increases angered both the left, who argued that the wages were not raised enough and the right who argued that the increase would hurt employers.

Yes, and adjust it every year according to inflation. Allow individual states to raise the wage if the cost of living in their area necessitates it
@93YKQZL2yrs2Y
Abolish the federal minimum wage and make it a local or state issue. Create guidelines to ensure that state and local leaders cannot abuse the system to establish low wages for others.
@57XN3G42yrs2Y
Yes, and raise all wages to a living wage and comparatively to education/degree.
@9425J2G2yrs2Y
No, lower cost of living so that people can afford what they work for. Minimum wage for entry level jobs and free training/promote from within a company should be implemented.
@93Z7LG52yrs2Y
No, wage standards should be local because living cost is different across the country
@heatherdvdprincess2yrs2Y
Yes, make it a living wage and adjust it according to inflation regularly enough to keep it a living wage. Perhaps enough to make $24k a year when working full time.
I've heard of many people happily living on $7k per year despite having much more (even being rich). However, this does require some time to aquire skills for DIY. So $24k may be more reasonable for people without those skills.
@93SWSM82yrs2Y
No, different states and zip codes have vastly different costs of living and income necessity, so wages should be adjusted accordingly.
@92JXK3J2yrs2Y
Every state has a different standard of living. Each state should have the power to decide on a minimum wage. The federal government should only ensure that the minimum wage is not abused by state governments for politics.
@4HNKVKT2yrs2Y
Yes, but the federal minimum wage should be set in line with the lowest state or by a calculated value rather than a flat value for the entire country
@92JXK3J2yrs2Y
Every state has a different standard of living. Each state should have the power to decide on a minimum wage.
@8TBSRN22yrs2Y
The federal minimum wage should be set based on profit, number of employees, and inflation.
@93GXC372yrs2Y
Yes, and make it a living wage that adjusts with inflation
@93CS3TH2yrs2Y
No, we should not have a federal minimum wage
@8TMFV7P2yrs2Y
No, eliminate all wage standards and implement a Negative Income Tax instead
@9344LDW2yrs2Y
Yes, but adjust it every 10 years according to inflation
@9334YP32yrs2Y
No, the government should have no control over the wages agreed between an employer and an employee in the private sector.
@8YFCYTS2yrs2Y
No, states should set their own minimum wages and adjust it according to inflation
@92XHX9V2yrs2Y
make it a living wage and adjust every year according to inflation
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, minimum wage standards should be a state option rather then federal option
@92RVS892yrs2Y
Yes, if they cap prices.
@92PJ2HW2yrs2Y
No, this prices out small businesses that cannot afford to pay workers and benefits large corporations like Amazon and Walmart. Additionally, small businesses make up a large portion of empoyers.
@8532KYJ2yrs2Y
No, eliminate the minimum wage and replace it with a citizen dividend
@92JXK3J2yrs2Y
Yes, but the Democratic proposal of 15 dollars is too high. 10-11 dollars is a better idea.
@92DRQZM2yrs2Y
You can raise it but not much, if it is raised I say raise it only a dollar or 2
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, but limit the ratio of pay between worker and owner.
@7MKJ4WC2yrs2Y
Yes, in accordance with inflation but not every year unless inflation is drastic.
@9242PWP2yrs2Y
yes make it a living wage to be able to live in the are you are working if you are paying for housing or are homeless however if you are not put it back to $10 but also keep all of these consistent with inflation.
@923Z93G2yrs2Y
No, remove all wage standards and provide a national dividend to all adult citizens instead
@8ZVJ2LM2yrs2Y
adjusts depending on inflation percentage shouldn't lower but can increase when inflation normal keep at 7.25
@8T9KVZK2yrs2Y
No, I support the abolition of all federal wage standards in favor of increased collective bargaining rights
@4M8TY2M2yrs2Y
Yes, it should be a living wage and be increased yearly according to inflation.
@JaredForALGov2yrs2Y
Yes, and it should be dynamic enough to account for changes in cost of living for a given area.
@8ZMLD8W2yrs2Y
make it a more livable wage
@heatherdvdprincess2yrs2Y
Yes, make it a living wage and adjust it according to inflation regularly enough to keep it a living wage. Perhaps enough to make $24k a year when working full time.
