Default $15 per hour

I believe the hourly rate for any hiree should be the result of an agreement between the employer and the hiree. If a hiree is willing to work for $7 per hour and the employer agrees, so be it. If the hiree wants $15 and the employer is only willing to pay $13, we all move on. No one should dictate what an employer has to pay. We all know what our financial needs are. Requiring a mandatory per hour rate distorts the per hour rate of others above this position, i.e if the dish washer is paid a mandatory $15 should the register clerk be paid more or the same even though there is more knowledge and skill required. I vote for the "mutual agreement" theory. How about you?
