In my day these jobs were for people to supplement their income, or for teenagers to gain work experience. $15.00/hr is too high. As another poster stated, many admins, bookkeepers etc. with skills do not make that much. Yes, I'm glad the fast food workers are working & not on welfare, but in my view these jobs should be seen as temporary & not a "career" to raise a family on. Go to night school & move yourself up! Wait to have a family until you make something of yourself. What is the incentive to do so, if the government dictates your raises to obtain votes, at the expense of inflation for the rest of us who worked our way up in this world. Ok. I'm off my soapbox now. Have a great day everyone!
