Best development in US health this century?

15.00 an hour!!! Hell, for that wage I'll flip burgers! LOL

Me too, where do I apply!

i wanna apply as well..

last time i worked fast food i was making 9.75 and hr and i thought that was high for fast food lol

Well I know I won't pay $20. bucks for a hamburger in oreder to support an entry level position.
Heck I hardly go now because they can not figure out that a cheeseburger with pickles onle is supposed to include the cheese. If your abilities are that below the bar or you are that inexperienced, you better wake up and pay attention or you will never go any farther.
Except for the managers those jobs were never intended tobe a fulltime job for someone supporting a family. They are stepping stone jobs..

If they don;t want to work and learn then someone else will or as NP pointed out somepeople might just be losing some weight.
Note: few if anyone has been getting raises in any sector, except politics

Just think, paying $18 or so for a big-mac meal! Oh hell no!

If big business continues to outsource jobs, more and more people will be forced to work these type jobs. . The wages will have to go up. Something has to give.

I do my best to avoid those places anyway. Sad that this would likely cause more unemployment. I agree with Dardenella though, these jobs weren't meant as a means to support one's family. These are jobs that people hold part time, years ago it was more common for teenagers to have these jobs, especially from the afternoon hours and in the summers.

I don't eat fast food anyway. And like Quinn said, it would just cause more unemployment.

I don't get why people think a fast food job will support their family. Those jobs were never meant to. They are a stepping stone to something bigger and better. So if those people make $15/hr, then I should demand that medical records techs make more because I'll be damned if I'm gonna make the same as someone flipping burgers. Then if I make well over $20/hr, then nurses need an increase because why would they want to make as much as an office worker? Then pretty soon no one is working because companies can't afford to pay people such high wages.

You know what's sad though... there are people who need that Big Mac sooo bad that they would probably be willing to pay $15 just to have it.

"Heck I hardly go now because they can not figure out that a cheeseburger with pickles onle is supposed to include the cheese"

LoL! I know right?! Every single time I've ordered a cheeseburger plain it ended up without cheese! The last time I had fast food (over a year ago, I think) the dude at the counter at least had the sense enough to ask, "you want cheese on it though, right?" I had to bite my tongue in order not to be rude and say, "well DUH!"
