Quoted by Catrina Crable a 10th grader in Florida, says she works 20 to 25 hours a week at a resturant. She recieve $7.79 an hour. But she said thats still not enough to pay her car insurance and her cell phone bill and gas for her car. This quote stood out to me because Catrina Crable in only in the 10th grade and she saying her pay is not enough if you can imagine a grown up with bigger resoponsibilities and only getting about $7.79 an hour and they have to pay more then just car insurance and a phone bill and gas.
But..... then again what would happen to the economy if Obama raise the miminum wage up to $9. I believe stores owners will fire employees because of the minimum wage. For example instead of 5 workers working in a sandwhich shop now and like when he change the minimum wage go up it would be like 3 or 4 workers working in the sandwhich shop. All so if he raise the minimum wage taxes might go up because of inflation. This might rise the rate of unemployment even higher then what it is. This can really cut down on some employees hours.
I think Obama should raise the minimum wage to $9 because if he raise it people can do so much more with their money.
This topic remind me of me when i got my first summer job when i was 14 i was making minimum wage $7.25 and i was thinking is wasn't enough because they took 30% out of my pay check. I could only work for 4 hours a day because I was still a minor.
