Assuming a 40 hour work week, is minimum wage a lot of money?
Even one penny per hour is a "lot of money" , when nothing good is generated by the labor.
And one hundred dollars per hour is a "lot of money" when this exceeds the value generated by the labor.
BALANCE ...is this so difficult ?
At this point, I'd favor everyone...from the COP to the LC working...doing something is value ...and the pay based on the value actually generated.
LC = latrine chief (of which I was one , once) ..
"one penny per hour"
In a very improvised nation (Nepal, I think) a man had to take one stone against another to cause two smaller stones - to patch their pathetic "highways and roads"...the pay ? ...unknown.... The value generated may have been one penny per hour...
As a nation, our people should know of this (Ice road truckers)...and we should know where we are...
Why should we have a forty (40) work week ?
And, why are there a lot more in the way of internships and apprenticeships....with the very least of pay....even "negative pay" ??
Had I known, I would have been open to this alternative...rather than a string of lousy jobs...part time....
Job Service, among many other things , is in need of reform/improvement .
