Is Changing Wages a Good Idea??!


The question at hand is should the government  increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour? Of course the majority of the United States answer is going to be yes. Jesus Tovar wrote in his blog Is changing wages a good idea? that he believes as well that it would be a good idea to increase wages, but he looks at both sides of the matter, why it would be good and why he believes it would not be a good idea to increase them. He brings up the fact that the citizens who work fast food work very hard, and have to deal with a lot just for a small compensation. The other side to the situation is that he feels since the wages would go up so would everything else in the economy, and that a "trial should be done first to see how this would be work nationally". He makes a good argument, but it is not supported with any facts or links that would give evidence to support his opinions. His intended audience is not clear, I feel that it leans towards both sides of the situation, those who are for it and those who are against it. I wouldn't give much credibility, just because I don't believe that everything would be the same if wages increased. Maybe if more information was given as to why he believed that, then I could consider that as being a possibility. But overall a good argument was presented, he gave his opinion and his own experiences to back it up.
