There's always going to be entry level positions where you learn and then advance. My problem is paying McDonald's employees 15$ an hour because they "need " it. No , you need to get into a profession where you can advance through hard work.
Companies like Chris has would like to hire a qualifide emplyee and pay X and send him out on a job and charge a little more than 2X. With the hope that with a few emplyees there would be enough to pay his wages and the fixed cost of shop, equipment and support staff. And if he is lucky make a little too. He will tell us that is minimal at best.
If you total Macdonalds expences for food servers world wide, they pay out about 8 billion, after that and all other expences their profit is 8 billion. If they were a responsible employers there would be no need for raising the min wage.
AND if all the low paid people got an education to better their situation, you will have to many qualified people, lowering the value of those jobs and a whole new group of people would be lined up at Macdonalds.
But now they have a massive dept for the eucation they got.
