Re: minimum wage and job loss
When I was in NYC,I met a lady who lived with her daughter and her family,she has no skill,speak no English ,she worked in Chinatown,bring her own lunch and tea bag,for a sweatshop.
Her job is to pull a plastic bag over a piece of garment before they sent them to the dept store ,she gets 7-9 pennies for doing so.
It aint that easy,if you have to do 50 to make $5.
She grossed over $7,take away subway tokens for elderly,she gets between $5-$6.
She does this a few times a week and get $35,not bad for an old lady,AND THERE is waiting list if she decides to quit.
