Re: Minimum Wage
I think the current minimum is kind of ok for its specific age groups, but as the level is actually around 1/3 of the average wage and thats in my miserly locallity, there should be a extra band that will force at least 50% of the national average pay from say 30 years old.
Skilled or unskilled a cog in the workforce machine requires the same respectable oil, else you have an unsatisfied workforce that will become bored in there jobs and do silly things through the working day, hence why so many products break down before they should, aswell as be pulling more sickies etc.
Of course if your a well qualified and skilled worker you really should be looking to get a bare minimum of 66% of the national average, if your on less I would be looking for alternative employment.
A good motto to follow is "Do not undersell yourself"
