"worker productivity"...
We're talking about low wage jobs.
In low wage jobs there are 2 kinds of people:
1. People who are busting their ass to get a promotion (they don't stay long in a low wage job, they move up)
2. The vast majority of people in low wage jobs...they do as little as possible to get through the day. They fuck around on the clock and can't wait for the end of the day to punch out and go home.
That majority of slackers are not suddenly working hard and valiantly for their slave labor masters...they are still goofing off at work. Surfing the web on their smart phones while waiting for the bell to ring on the latest batch of french fries. lol
Tony, most people are not noble creatures who somehow found themselves in a bad spot.
Most of the people who are stuck in minimum wage jobs don't have the drive or ambition to do any better.
If I had to go to work at McDonald's tomorrow, I guarantee you that I would be making good money there within a month or two.
I'm the guy who would go in there and work overtime for no pay and outwork every person there just to get ahead.
I wouldn't NEED any overinflated b.s. minimum wage raises. I'd make my own way. Just like millions of other people with drive and work ethic do.
