Recently there has been a lot of talk about the minimum wage. So many people are on the fence about whether it is a good thing or not. Personally I believe the minimum wage is needed. If there was no minimum wage, a person could be working for a dollar an hour for a job that should be paying a lot more than that.
Teenagers typically rely on these minimum wage jobs. These jobs are not usually the best and most desired postitions, but because of the starting price kids are settling for them. If these jobs were not paying the amount they are now, NO ONE would take them, because we would not be making enough to even barely support ourselves.
As Franklin Roosevelt said on the situation, "All but the hopelessly reactionary will agree that to conserve our primary resources of man power, government must have some control over maximum hours, minimum wages, the evil of chil labor and the exploitation of unorganized labor." Minimum wage is much needed and should remain the same.
