RE: Want To Force A $15 Minimum Wage For Your McDonald Job? Be Prepared To Be Replaced By A Robot!
Well said but again value depends greatly on the living standards you know, for example I've been to Switzerland where average pay is 5000$ and then I get back to Balkan where average pay is 300$. Do you notice a difference? And yes things are a bit more expensive in Switzerland but again there having an iPhone 7 or Samsung Galaxy S8 is like a most normal thing ever and here you have to be pretty rich to allow yourself to spend 800$ on a phone. The thing is that I earned 170$ on steemit for 2 weeks I've been here and tht is someones pay for a month of hard work here, but for example that kind of money is unimportant for someone in Switzerland.
This is a very good perspective.. different countries.. different cost of living. Although i think $15 dollars minimum wage is crazy.. i do beilive a small increase is due. Maybe $8 dollar minimum wage increase? In the state that i live the minimum is $7.25 .. 75 cents would be huge! Most people that i know living in the U.S know that cost of living has increased but pay has stayed around the same! My economics teacher once told my class that it was possible to work a sumer job and be able to afford college wihtout having loans or borrowing money ( when she was in college) . Unlike many other students i know im lucky to have a decent paying job.
Yes exactly, every country has different living standarts !
