The ONLY Solution is Wage Increases Across the Board for All Fields of Work to Encourage People to be Employed . A LIVING WAGE at Bare Minimum should be the New Norm in 2018 Considering U.S. Economic Growth .
Increased wages leads to increased costs- what service do you provide?
Double the pay of fast food workers, cost of fast food has to double to pay for it.
Farmers? food.
Get it?
Double everyones pay, cost of everything doubles.
Maybe look at cutting taxes instead- property tax is outrageous, and for rental properties it's passed off in the cost of rent.
Income taxes are out of control- to pay someone 10 an hour it'll cost a company 15, and they'll only see 7. That means they need to make $15 worth of value for every $7 they take home for a $10/hr job.... which doesn't come close to paying the rent.
The money itself is broken by design- there's no fixing this while under the thumb of fiat currency.
No it does not.
I make more than everyone on this forum, some of you, combined. Higher wages do not equal higher prices. Please let this fallacy die.

People want you to work 40 hours a week for the rest of your life for shi^^Y pay. Then the government wants 1 fourth of that then health insurance wants another fourth.
It sounds more like a prison sentence to me..
Yeah, maybe... but I doubt it'd have a positive effect on the quality of life standards.
Though, if the minimum wage was raised... then it'd probably raise the quality of life standards and also correct that so called "mind set" at the same time.

I disagree. I will work alot harder for more pay.
That is why I do alot of jobs by myself so I can make more money and dont have to pay someone.
That is working harder for more money..

It is all based on the value of the work too. I think you are wrong in if you are 1% and feel your earnings are not impacting and so 100 million others all getting more pay is the same you are wrong.
Take Walmart at 13 billion per year net profit. With 2 million employees if they increased all to 4 more dollars per hour they would have negative profit if they didn't raise prices.
