Also, the current employees who are making the current minimum wage amount ($8.25) will enjoy the dramatic increase to $10.65. There are managers and supervisors who believe that by paying employees a substantial amount of money for the job they do on a daily basis, the overall work environment will receive a bump in morale. Also, citizens whom reside in the state of Illinois tend to think that the term minimum wage is just for young teens in high school or retirees; but what they fail to realize is that a lot of middle class families attain minimum wage jobs and people graduating from college eventually take on a minimum wage until they are able to attain a job in their career field. To many of those in the low to middle class family income bracket in Illinois, increasing the minimum wage would definitely put more money into their pockets therefore allowing them to provide for their families more than the usual. “A survey was taken in Illinois to determine the age brackets of those that receive minimum wage pay, the information that was found was very interesting.

The current employment trends for a swat team member show that from June 2010 to December 2011 the employment rate raised 40 percent.

Indisputably, workers who shoulder the burdens of family should have the priority to be supported by society. However, regardless to the fact that they may end up losing their jobs, a primary question should be considered: does raising the minimum wage really affect workers who are supporting their families? Ironically, it doesn’t. Thomas Sowell, an American economist who was awarded the Bradley Prize for intellectual achievement in 2003, has demonstrated in his article “The Living Wage kills Jobs” that in every 5 workers, there’s less than one person who has a family to support (par. 8). The four people remained should be accounted mostly by teenage workers.
Lewis 1 Nicole Lewis English 103 Professor Davis 20 April 2015 Raising Minimum Wage In society, a vast majority of people are subjected to working minimum wage jobs, many of which have families to support. Minimum wage jobs were not intended for living off of, but that is no longer the case unfortunately. Some people believe that raising the minimum wage will raise prices, and then lower demand. Though this may appear true, raising the minimum wage in the long run will actually help businesses thrive, thus relieving income inequality, and helping the lives of struggling young adults and families living off of minimum wages. Contrary to popular belief, raising the minimum wage will help business flourish.

Millions of men and women entered military service and saw parts of the world they would likely never have seen otherwise. The labor demands of war industries caused millions more Americans to move--largely to the Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf coasts where most defense plants located. When World War II ended, the United States was in better economic condition than any other country in the world. Even the 300,000 combat deaths suffered by Americans paled in comparison to any other major belligerent. Building on the economic base left after the war, American society became more affluent in the postwar years than most Americans could have imagined in their wildest dreams before or during the war.
The scheme got under way in July 1912 but benefits were not payable until January 1913. Compulsory for workers in certain trades susceptible to seasonal unemployment 2.3 million workers paid 2.1/2d per week, their employers paid a similar amount and the government 12/3d. In return these workers were entitled to unemployment benefit of 7 shillings per week payable for up to 15 weeks from the labour exchange. The unemployment insurance fund prospered and by 1914 it had a surplus £23 million in
Incarceration costs are much higher, normally running around $18,100 per year per inmate, with another $43,756 needed just to build a new cell block. With the information provided I believe the theory of the non-traditional approach of the electronic monitoring is a good way to go to help save money and help local cities on their debts as well. These are in my personal opinion a great approach to the system. The second NON traditional approach with the prison system I’d like to address is the MRT which is a focus on changing how inmates think and make decisions. Counselors hold group sessions twice weekly with 8 to 15 clients per group so that it’s more of a personal feel for the inmates they can better focus on the topics and not feel as pressured.
A review of 80 studies evaluating motivational methods and their impact on employee productivity highlighted several activities that could increase productivity (Verma, 1996). These activities included goal setting, efforts to enrich jobs, employee participation in decision making, and monetary incentives. The Engstrom bonus plan basically incorporated all of these activities. Where I think they fell short was the communication breakdown between the company and the employees when the economic downturn first started. I believe the monthly meetings between the company and the employees should have been putting more responsibility on the employees to come up with ideas to deal with reduced sales due to the economic conditions.
