Small businesses generate the most minimum wage jobs

"scab"

That seems to be one of the most demeaning, derogatory and shameful terms I've ever heard. Because I do not AGREE with you you have the right to use such terminology is the thought of the union/union worker.

 

Where is the data that supports this? It certainly isn't at the link you provided.

 

In fact here is some evidence to the contrary.

It is in the dictionary but that does not give it the power that it has over people that beat others, destroy property, obstruct traffic and lately shoot at people. The mindset/attitude that makes all of what goes on during strikes is deplorable.

the definition backs up my comment that it is about - I cannot have my opinion without union people being demeaning and nasty.

There are many words in the dictionary, but that does not mean believers should use them.

 

You have no idea how that data works that you posted above. It doesn't even come close to supporting your original statement of "Small businesses generate the most minimum wage jobs".

 

I'm going to nitpick again--Where does the data show that "small businesses generate the most minimum wage jobs" as your thread title indicates?

Your link shows that businesses with 1-9 employees have a median salary of $42,190. The U.S. federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. That means a person working 40 hours per week would earn $15,080 per year.

Sorry, but I'm not seeing the correlation with minimum wage jobs being predominantly at small businesses.

 

The only reasonable assumption you can make from your data is that employees at small businesses with less than 9 employees make around $40,000 a year.

That ties in well with the fact that most small business owners make less than $250,000 a year.

 

The data doesn't show you "most" low paying jobs either. The data doesn't indicate how many jobs are represented by each of the groups listed, so how can you possibly figure out which group has the "most" of anything?

 

I'd wear the name proudly.

A scab is generated by the body to cover a sore while it heals.

Unions could be considered sores that never heal.

 

That's a frequent occurrence for bw. Sometimes they even disprove his statements.

What does the employers income have to do with him paying the employee what he is worth? Read that as NOTHING. :laugh: Unless of course you are in a communist country, then your question might have meaning.

 

Why not? If the employee is happy making $40,000 and that is fair payment for the job description and level of education of the employee, what's the problem?

 

Or we could force the small business owner to pay the employees more, thus forcing him out of business. That would be your solution, right?

You know that 40,000 a year is way above minimum wage, right? Should we raise minimum wage to something higher than 40,000 a year? How about we make a law that all business must equally split all profit among all their employees? I got an idea...how about we make it so that those that belong to the proper family get seniority and more money? That would be a good thug-union solution, right?
