There's your $15 an Hour

min was $5.15/hr for me, and I only had snake on my Nokia to pass down time.

Surprised no one has mentioned the $13/hour minimum wage going into effect for all of Cook county soon. I wonder if they are preparing to cut staff. $13 is going to squeeze already struggling small biz retailers. It's not drastically increasing, $1/year starting in June, but still a nearly $5 bump from the current rate by 2020.

Sounds like some of the towns and villages in Cook are opting out of the increases of minimum wage and the sick time ordnances. I know Arlington opted out of both, and Wheeling opted out of the sick time.

Man, minimum wage was $4.7x when I started working in the 90's. I can't believe it has almost tripled in 20 years.

Yeah, my first pizzeria job was $5.15

hmmm interesting, didn't know they could opt out. Just read the DH article.

The problem with minimum wage is not everybody is created equal. It's crazy for me to think of a 15yr old making $13/hr doing the same thing I did at that age. Cost of living for a 15yr old certainly hasn't gone up that much in 20 years.

I see the cost of goods going way up at some point. Small businesses won't be able to survive at the cost of stuff now if they have to pay that minimum wage.

Government imposes new minimum wage, sub governed entities opt out.

I'm slightly surprised they could opt-out. A village like Arlington Hts, you could say falls in the upper-middle class bracket, could probably absorb the increase and just pass it off to the resident consumer. I bet they are trying to prevent small biz from moving out of the village and over the border to Lake county, same deal with Wheeling, where it will remain $8.25. Small businesses are the fabric of this nation, we're not only taxing them to death, we're now rewarding stagnation and laziness.

The job pay should be dictated on market, not artificially

I have no problem with minimum wage.

That's a contradiction.

Gov mandated minimum wage is not free market
