• Introduction: Good intention may have both consequences depending on how it guided whether by error or correct decision. The best example is the minimum wage regulation which means to raise the wages to improve living conditions but actually influence many to economy. Minimum wage is the lowest hourly, daily wage of an employee. Many economists have different ideas of an in crease in minimum wage, the matter in the views on disadvantages and advantages being disputed by many advocates. The advantages from higher minimum wage can have a positive effect on the whole economy flows, while the disadvantages have some negative effects on employment rates.
That is a high rise in a short period of time. Right now, we are headed to what they call a “Second Great Depression.” Millions of people are losing jobs and homes and are barely getting by each day. This years elections is a big one, America needs to elect a president that will get us out of this crisis and back on the right path. This leads me to the question, “After I graduate high school, will I be able to earn a living on a minimum wage salary?” The answer is simply no. You got your high school diploma and you can finally live on your own, working a 9-5 flipping burgers at McDonalds just won’t cut it these days.
If not, the individual worker will expect continued monetary increases for the same level or amount of work produced. By tying in labor, skill, and education increases with financial increases, workers would be more driven to progress in their preferred field. Therefore, when making attempts to increase an even higher minimum wage, we need to stop and realize wages should be based on an individual’s knowledge and skill level and not focus on the general American public’s natural empathy. If you worked to get where you’re at, shouldn’t everyone else? Minimum wage increase supporters believe that a low-income individual should be able to purchase the products in which they help to produce or services they help to provide.
However, there are many controversies over the implementation of minimum wage claimed by the economist, especially on the effect of unemployment. The majority of the British favours the increase in minimum wage as it would help the poor and lead to the well-being of the society as a whole. However, what is minimum wages? What are the advantages and disadvantages of introducing it? Minimum wage is defined as the minimum amount employer need to pay and this amount is set by the government through legislation.
Raising the Minimum Wage By: Driscoll, Sally and Grant Richard A The minimum wage in the United States is always debated in nearly every congressional sessions with often no resolution. In 2007, the federal minimum wage was raised to $5.85 an hour. The minimum wage hasn’t been increased since 1997. Within the 10 years that have passed between 1997-2007, the cost of goods had increased nearly to 23%, while housing and education increased even more. There was a bill passed by the United State Senate which increased the minimum wage to $7.25 in 2009.
In general, the United States has some of the highest poverty rates among industrialized countries. Some sociologists believe that the theoretical perspective explains why poverty continues to happen. However, we must first illustrate the differences among the three perspectives and why those differences matter in regards to the existence of poverty. From a functionalist perspective, poverty must somehow contribute to the general well-being of society. Perhaps the existence of poverty serves as an incentive, encouraging everyone to work harder than they otherwise might, to avoid becoming poor, and thereby boosting the general level of wealth.

It further goes on to say that immigration would affect both aggregate demand and supply levels of the economy. The article shows the different ways migrants would affect different areas such as labour supply, job search, capital stock, technology and so on. According to the author, inflow of migrants would definitely increase the level of demand and supply in the economy. It would also boost consumption levels which would in turn increase production levels. The article suggests that the key point to be considered is whether migration would add to the inflationary pressure in the economy.
Minimum wage laws force an employer to pay its employees above a mandated level. On one hand, yes, this means that workers have more money in their pockets. It means they can now go out and spend money which will, in turn, stimulate the broader economy, right? Wrong! The higher wages paid by the employer have to be made up somewhere.
