Nike was providing jobs to people in areas that was not easy to provide for their families but Nike made some mistakes. “The majority of challenges Nike had to overcome involved ethical issues and debates. Even though Nike was providing jobs to those who may not otherwise have one, it was paying “a mere $1.60 a day to Vietnam factory workers when the living wage is at least $3 a day” (Hill, 2009). Nike could have avoided this challenge by paying each employee worker the living wage of the country he or she lives in to purchase necessary items”. (Phoenix Business, 2014).

One of the main things that employers will have to do in order to make money will be to reduce hours, limit job creation, and increase prices. Many believe the minimum wage jobs are not meant to be a career, they are transitional jobs. Therefore minimum wage employees should receive transitional pay. A vast majority of the employees who attain minimum wage jobs have families that are on welfare, so they may receive Link, W.I.C., and Section 8 living therefore their needs are taken care of if they live within their means.

Contrary to popular belief, raising the minimum wage will help business flourish.
She establishes her credibility on the issue of unpaid internships by detailing the unpaid internship she completed herself when she was in college.

Next, she lists the risks for the interns completing unpaid internships, such as, lost wages, living expenses, and additional debt. After stating the opportunity costs of unpaid internships she asserts that unpaid internships don’t prepare the interns for their future careers due to the, at best, quasi-professional nature of the duties interns perform. Kamenetz say that unpaid internships are creating unrealistic expectations for what individual’s careers are actually like in these fields.
Welfare Reforms The dream of most women is to have the traditional family, which includes a husband and their children. There are more single mothers in this day and age that face more challenges on the way to achieving the American Dream. They find it hard to provide financially even working a full-time job because the pay is normally minimum wage and most still rely on public assistance to make ends meet.

Budget cuts to welfare programs are making it that much harder for the single mother to provide the necessities for their children because these supplemental programs are necessary to the day to day workings of a family.
