Unemployment is about 5-6% If you don't have a job, benefit is $500.00 per fortnight but there's a lot of add on's you can boost that with
9.11 Unemployment benefits and the minimum wage |
The cost of living has a lot to do with that.
In Missouri...it's not as expensive to live. So a high minimum wage isn't gonna work there.
In New York City...it's outrageously expensive to live there and a higher minimum wage would work.
But bottom line...a fast food job is ENTRY level. Not a "real" job.
