Massachusetts minimum wage set to increase to $12.75 on Jan. 1, 2020 and will be $15 an hour by 2023

1t's ok...no jobs there anyway

If you think about it from the standpoint of the employer, double it

That is the money you have to MAKE THE EMPLOYER for him to keep you around.

It still doesn't even make the employer any profit either.

Think about that, young ones, when you apply for a job, when you show up for the job, and when you DO YOUR JOB

To bring it home, think about it. Can you do 30$ worth of knitting in an hour? Can you make 30$ worth of food?

Too bad they don't understand economics!

All they are doing is pushing up the cost of living. Which means it changes nothing.
Ever heard the term "pushing on a string"? This is just as effective.
If they had any sense they would focus on restoring the VALUE of the currency. Nothing else will work!

Wrong. They always fail to calculate how many will actually lose their jobs because the employer can no longer afford to keep them!
The TRUE "minimum wage" is ZERO! and always will be.

Can you smell it?

I LOVE THE SMELL OF WAGE INFLATION IN THE MORNING.

$12 TO $15 BY 2023.

How fast do you think Precious metals with go up?

P.S. living in MA sucks. Everything is too expensive. And everyone's gay, or a tranny. Then they wonder why the population is down. And the only thing their society supports are senior citizens. The only people with money are fake pseudo intellectuals desperate for young people to talk to them. IT'S PATHETIC.

If you want to see the neo liberal world die come to MA or the northeast in general.

Congrats for getting a 15 an hour wage to a dead end jobs.
You must be so proud to inflate rentals and increase the price of goods.

Dumb fucks can’t realize it’s a scam to pay more taxes to the guberment

15 an hour to work at a Burger King GTFO

Quiet down shills and ignorant repeaters.

People need money to live, stop beating up the little guy that you need to do menial work for you to live.

Taxes need to be enforced on FANG and billionaires.

Categorization of a person's assets need to be simplified.

Both political parties need to be replaced by a giant AI squid.

Massachusetts and New Hampshire are two of the safest states in America, especially compared to the south or Chicago. All of New England is actually cool.

At 40 hours a week that`s $600 a week.Liberal Massachusetts will pay people a decent living compared to the rest of the skinflints who pay $7.25 an hour to live on.

Big tech, college and medical place. Best hospitals in the country are in Boston. Massachusetts is a progressive state and not a bunch of good old boys.

cant they just hire mexicans for fitty cent per hour?

the price of goods is consistently going UP...

we the prices are NEVER GOING DOWN...they only go up.

so yeah! raise the minimum wage.

Too cold up here for Mexicans. That`s a perk. Not many people can take the snow and cold. We are getting a big storm tommorrow. I lived in the south for one summer and couldn't take it. Very slow pace. I couldn't wait to get back to the fast pace white collar liberal Massachusetts.

that's an awesome state mass , I miss boston , go patriots.

New England is the best place to live in America. We were the first states and that`s why we are ahead of the game. Thank god we have four seasons as the cold weeds out people who don't want to come here.

If I controlled the world and wanted to push communism and subsequent poverty onto everyone, this is precisely what I would do.

99% of people, even most business owners, don’t have a real fuckin clue how it works.

Walmart and most retailers are already starting their people out at 13-15 dollars per hour.

Poor idiots in mass.

half my family lives there its a total shithole

When the wages get raised the employees get down sized.
Fewer employees working the cut backed ones jobs and their own they are added onto.

It`s a great place to live. I bet you live in a hot climate area all year. People who live in hot climates all year are always angry. Good luck with your $7.25 an hour while the poorest people in Massachusetts will make almost double you soon at $15 an hour.

Min wage should be $50 by now, thanks chew bankers

Poor guy cant buy a new boat for his vacation home.

Liberals are demons.

Yes,thank you. Boston is the sports capital of the world with Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics and Bruins.
Plus we do have Harvard as well.

Who gave old people medicare, people with disabilties a check, gave housing, and oh yeah now $15 dollars an hour.
What did conservative ever do? What did they ever do to help the little man? Name me one thing you Gordon Gekko wannabees? lol.
My side will win. Why I have more women on my side. That is way more powerful in the end than a bunch of men with big swinging dricks. lol.

yeah I looked at houses there $450,000 dollars for

a 12x12 wood shed.

This house in my home town $75,000
