"A Bigger Payday" - Period 3 by Rick Gibbs https://padlet.com/rgibbs5/r6brldmwio92 1) Write a PRO and a CON with text evidence from the article regarding the debate over minimum wage pay. 2) - what do you think inflation means? and what is your opinion regarding the central idea of the article? en-us 2018-02-13 16:47:40 UTC 2018-09-07 20:23:50 UTC hello@padlet.com Mr. Gibbs rgibbs5 https://padlet.com/rgibbs5/r6brldmwio92/wish/231144927 Pro - Raising minimum wage is a good idea because it will help with inflation - like rising costs of insurance or rent (Anastasia 7).
Con - Raising minimum wage is not always a good idea because according to the article, some fast food jobs like McDonald's are, " . . . replacing some cashiers with automatic kiosks . . . " (Anastasia 7).
Overall, I think that raising the minimum wage is better for our country because I think workers will take more pride in what they are doing, and may provide better service at places like fast food restaurants.]]> 2018-02-13 16:56:21 UTC https://padlet.com/rgibbs5/r6brldmwio92/wish/231144927 Erin McCoy https://padlet.com/rgibbs5/r6brldmwio92/wish/231154636 Pro- Many people who have minimum wage paying jobs need more money for food or rent, if they are a teenager they would be able to buy things such as Christmas presents. Higher paying minimum wage jobs will assist with this. "...raising the minimum wage actually helps states too ... research found that unemployment rates dropped in states that raised their minimum wages..." (Anastasia 7).
Con- Many small businesses, such as fast food restaurants, might not be able to afford the higher minimum wages. "...some companies raise prices. Others cut employees' hours..." So, raising the salary for minimum wage might also lead to unemployment and layoffs. (Anastasia 7)
In conclusion, raising the minimum wage cost might lead to many good opportunities for people, which is why all states should do this.]]> 2018-02-13 17:11:10 UTC https://padlet.com/rgibbs5/r6brldmwio92/wish/231154636 Kaitlyn McConkie https://padlet.com/rgibbs5/r6brldmwio92/wish/231156160 Pro- Raising minimum wage is a great idea because it will keep people from needing two jobs. This will make life better for people who work in places like Wendy's or some other fast food restaurant. "...McCDonald's, for example, started replacing cashiers with automatic kiosks last year. ..."It's made it harder for young people to... get that firs job." she [Joyce P. Jacobsen] says" (Anastasia 7). This is another point, because some fast food restaurants are replacing employees with automatic kiosks, it makes it harder for young kids trying to make a living, to find a job.

Con- However, some fast food places cannot afford the cost of paying their employees more. "Still, as economists point out, the money for higher wages has to come from somewhere" (Anastasia 7). This means that the money has to come from somewhere and the managers don't get paid as well either.]]> 2018-02-13 17:13:25 UTC https://padlet.com/rgibbs5/r6brldmwio92/wish/231156160 Evan Young https://padlet.com/rgibbs5/r6brldmwio92/wish/231156842 Pro - Having the minimum wage raised will help people and employees get more money in their jobs and help them provide for their families. "The increased wages - topping $10 an hour in some states - offer some relief to americans who live paycheck to paycheck and struggle to afford their basic needs (Anastatia)
Con - The wage being raised isn't a good idea. The price of everything will go up. You'll have to pay big taxes and the rent or gas price will go up. It would also cut employees that actually need the job and they can't provide for their family. The cost of rent and healthcare has risen, ]]> 2018-02-13 17:14:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rgibbs5/r6brldmwio92/wish/231156842 Brock Harper https://padlet.com/rgibbs5/r6brldmwio92/wish/231157019 Pro- People get higher paychecks and can get more things then what their used to. ". . . offer some relief to Americans who live paycheck to paycheck and struggle to afford their basic needs" (Anastasia 6).
Con- People could lose jobs due to money loss and people could get a less of a benefit. ". . . in order to afford the increase, businesses will have to cut back on employees' hours or eliminate jobs altogether" (Anastasia 6).
My opinion about raising minimum wage is a bad idea. if people need more money, then they should work harder so they get a pay raise. Inflation is when they raise the price of money. ]]> 2018-02-13 17:14:49 UTC https://padlet.com/rgibbs5/r6brldmwio92/wish/231157019 Nathan Crites https://padlet.com/rgibbs5/r6brldmwio92/wish/231157780 Pro-]]> 2018-02-13 17:15:58 UTC https://padlet.com/rgibbs5/r6brldmwio92/wish/231157780 Olivia N. House https://padlet.com/rgibbs5/r6brldmwio92/wish/231158171 One pro would be many people that would get more money could help workers be able to have more money for their needs. (Anastasia 7) Like for example they could use the money for insurance , rent, food, etc.
One con would be it could cause small companies go bankrupt. Not only that it could also cause some stores or other companies to raise the prices of things like shoes, rent, etc. In the text it had said that "These are funds that are going to be used to pay rent, to buy food, to buy medicine,' Saenz says. "That money goes back into the economy" (Anastasia 7).
In conclusion, raising the minimum wage would help in some cases, but it could also lead into having people being laid off of fired to have the company able to have enough money for the other people be able to get paid. So no the companies or states should not have the minimum wage be raised. If the minimum wage were to be raised it would be very very difficult for teenagers to get a job.]]> 2018-02-13 17:16:35 UTC https://padlet.com/rgibbs5/r6brldmwio92/wish/231158171 Lillian Williams https://padlet.com/rgibbs5/r6brldmwio92/wish/231158822 Pro- Having a larger payday can be a pro because " The increase wages-topping $10 an hour in some states-offer some relief to Americans who live paycheck to paycheck and struggle to afford their basic needs (Anastasia 6)

"The In creased wages- topping $10 an hour in some stated- offer some relief to Americans who live paycheck to paycheck and struggle to afford their basic need" (Anastasia 6)
Con- A con to having larger paydays is “But not everyone is happy about the pay hikes. Some people fear that, in order to afford the increase, businesses will have to cut back on employees’ hours or eliminate jobs altogether” (Anastasia 7).
I believe that inflation means when prices of things start to rise such as: groceries, gas, homes, cars. So basically when the market is hot. I also think that Laura Anastasia was trying to get us to believe that we should raise minimum wage. ]]> 2018-02-13 17:18:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rgibbs5/r6brldmwio92/wish/231159343 Noah Reed https://padlet.com/rgibbs5/r6brldmwio92/wish/231159531 Pro- raising minimum wage would help a lot of people. Because the people that get paid minimum wage would make a better living and could pay for there rent better. Con- the con for raising minimum wage would be that the places would have to pay the people more money and have a higher chance of going out of business and losing all of their money. They might have to also cut there hours and raise prices (Anastasia 6)." university of Washington found that minimum wage workers in Seattle actually made $125 lass a month after their pay went up" (Anastasia 7).]]> 2018-02-13 17:18:48 UTC https://padlet.com/rgibbs5/r6brldmwio92/wish/231159531 Kolten Branstetter https://padlet.com/rgibbs5/r6brldmwio92/wish/231160616 Pro- If we raise minimum wage would give people more money to buy food and pay there taxes with more money set aside for retirement or food.

His hourly pay went from $8.90 to $9.25 on January 1” (Anastasia 7).

Con- “But not everyone is happy about the pay hikes. Some people fear that, in order to afford the increase, businesses will have to cut back on employees’ hours or eliminate jobs altogether” (Anastasia 7).

I believe that raising the amount of minimum wage is a good thing for our country. Workers will be able to provide more for their families, and will want to take pride in what they do more.

Con-If the company gives out more money to their employees, the store isn't going to have enough money for the business.
Con-In the article "A Bigger Payday" It states, "But not everyone is happy about bigger the pay hikes. Some people fear that, in order to afford the increase , businesses will have to cut back on employees' hours or eliminate jobs altogether"(Anastasia 6).
Pro- In the article "A Bigger Payday" it states,""There are states that are still dragging their feet," says Rogelio Sáenz,, a professor at the University of Texas at San Antonio.

Raising the minimum wage would be helpful because it would put more food on a workers plate and it would pay the rent easier.

In the article it states that " It's basically going... toward me maybe having a little more to eat,"says Antwan Williams (Anastasia )6 Some people can't take care of their family because of their paycheck, people can't afford health care to keep their family safe (Anastasia 7).
Con- Raising minimum wage could be bad because the business owner might not have enough money to afford as many employees. If the minimum wage goes up hours would get cut so you wouldn't get much more money then you did before (Anastasia 7).
I believe it would be good to raise minimum wage because people would have to worry as much about feeding their family. ]]> 2018-02-14 16:09:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rgibbs5/r6brldmwio92/wish/231562402 https://padlet.com/rgibbs5/r6brldmwio92/wish/231563037 2018-02-14 16:10:52 UTC https://padlet.com/rgibbs5/r6brldmwio92/wish/231563037 Ethan Barr https://padlet.com/rgibbs5/r6brldmwio92/wish/231575219 Pro- Getting a higher paycheck would make it so that people get payed more and they would have more money to buy the things that they need in life.

Con- Getting paid more would make it so that people don't work as much as normal and that could result in bad things like this, according to the article "A Bigger Payday, "...Other businesses hire fewer people or replace entry-level workers with unpaid interns or machines" (Anastasia 7).

I think that people and businesses should not raise minimum wage so that things don't just go to robots and other stuff like that just working at fast food places, and more people would then stay employed.]]> 2018-02-14 16:29:59 UTC https://padlet.com/rgibbs5/r6brldmwio92/wish/231575219 Breanna Jones https://padlet.com/rgibbs5/r6brldmwio92/wish/231575551 In the article "A bigger pay day" it talks about minimum wage pay and how they are going to raise the pay in minimum wage workers paychecks. A pro of getting more money in your paycheck is that they could use it to buy more essentials like food. A con with getting a bigger paycheck is the chance of people getting fired more often so that the company would give the money that they would normally give to the one person to someone else(Anastasia, 7). I think inflation means that more people will need jobs when there aren't many left.In my opinion I think that Companies with minimum wage should leave it the way it is because when people don't have jobs than more families go out onto the street.
