It is not fair to start off an employee at $7.25, that is not enough money for anyone to survive with. You can barely even gain yet alone buy anything with that type of money that you will gain. The least they can do is up the pay to at least $11 for all people starting to work at any job. That type of pay wont get anyone any money what so ever, if you work a part time job and still in school but get paid $7.25 you will not gain anything. You have certain things to pay, for example if you have a car you will have to pay for gas, insurance, and other utility’s that the car needs. You will barely have enough money to pay for any of those things. Up the pay could also increase a better life style for the employees that are working at some sort of part time. This might also up the job rates because some teens would want to work more cause they up the pay to $11 they would want to get more money for themselves, making a quick buck. Some would say that if they were to up the pay they would consider it a bad idea, cause the increase could cost inflation in most of all the U.S. They cost for certain things will go up, like grocery’s would have a mild increase, they would not want to pay that much for certain items. The proper solution is is simple, up the pay to at least $11 to all jobs even if it’s at a fast food restaurant, that would increase the job rates by a lot and the employees would be happy cause of the certain money they will be making supporting themselves. So to all the people on the same page, start to making this happen all over, us as a country to join together and up the pay from $7.25 to $11 and all joined up we can make this wish of ours come to a reality.
