If McDonalds offered $15.00 per hour wages would there be a better class of employees...?

Here's an example - a guy buys a McDonalds franchise for $300,000 and he nets $150,000 per year by working 60 hours per week. His 20 workers go from $9 per hour to $15 per hour. Now his net pay has gone from $150K to minus $90,000 per year. Or he can add about $1000 per day to the price of the Big Macs.

The higher you raise the minimum wage, the less people will need to improve their current circumstances. If they raised the minimum wage for McDonald's to 15 Dollars they could ask for more from their workers and thus have a better class of employees, but less would go to college and some places would go out of business because they couldn't afford to pay their labor costs. That would only be small businesses who don't have a large amount of customers.

I made 15 dollars a hour I have prior work experience, the people who owned the business knew and trust me, and I already one degree (which is basically useless). My first job I made 8 dollars 15 a hour is actually a lot I know a lot of college grads that make that much.

15 is not enough to have any kids but that is why people go to college and learn skills. Without incentive no one does anything and society collapses.

If you have to pay everyone a minimum of $15 an hour, you will get the same guys who are making 7.25 an hour today. They will just get paid more to do the job they are doing today.

McDonalds is an entry level job. It doesn't take a lot of skill and people should be paid based on their skill levels and not just because they show up and breathe.

Yeah. You would have people who are already employed and under salaried, willing to work part time in greater numbers, thus keeping the more unreliable misfits unemployed.

The old joking lament from the Clinton years would get recycled; "Bill Clinton created 2 million new jobs, and I've got three of them!"

Just what do you mean by that, SN*B? Kids working at McDonald's are trying to make some money. It is not much of a job, but it is a job. Why don't you show some respect?

no , once the index adjustments kick in you will still be a minimum wage worker with a job you do not like

pretty much every mcdonalds employee they have now, would be fired, including most managers

but then, food quality would go way up - since t would actually be cooked right

and your order would be correct and you get what you actually ordered for once.

2. its so funny, all those people picketing, think they are gonna get a pay raise, no one has told them - they would all be fired.

No crackheads with mo money to spend and a big mac that cost 20 bucks

No, just higher prices for a sh*tty product.
