PA Might Raise Their Minimum Wage

Posted on | September 6, 2005 |

There is good news from Harrisburg. The lawmakers are talking again about raising the minimum rage due to increase in cost of living and the sky-rocketing gas prices. Though there are some opposed to the raise becaus they say it is something for the federal government to do. What the bill proposes is that the first hike will make the 5.15 to 6.00 then by January 1 2006 6.75 and then by January 2007 7.15.

I think this a very good idea as I have posted before. I think the more people make the more they will spend. Which everyone will benefit more revenue for the state from sales tax and businesses will get more profit. Also abnother benefit for the average worker is an increase in their own wages. Some businesses off a little more than minimum wage to intince people to come work for them. If the minimum wage increases possibly those some businesses will increase their base rate. So for intance, Uni-mart which is a conveinence store chain in Central PA currently pays 6.00 starting. The company is a joke, I know I used to work for them. SO if minimum wage increases maybe their base pay will got almost 7.00.

I think everyone benefits. The companies already make plenty of money and they will keep making money. When I worked for Uni-Mart, I spent a lot of my paycheck at the company. So no one really is losing anything. This is one thing that the lawmakers in Harrisburg should do, it would be beneficial to everyone and make PA a really great state to work and live in.

Happy Day!
