| irstupid said: Yes, my next post shows it. I lifeguarded when younger and its max pay was $10/hr. My cousins who are like 15 years younger than me their max pay is also $10/hr. I imagine it was $10/hr for many years before I guarded as well. Only giant save every dollar they can by hiring cheap labor (mcdonalds, walmart, ect) pay the minimum wage. Most small businesses or stuff pay around $10 an hour. |
Again, maximum pay being capped at 10$ shows nothing except for the lifeguarding job becoming more of a dead end job, but the increase in starting wage and increase in reaching that maximum shows, quite clearly, the effect of inflation.
| irstupid said: The only reason it raised quicker was that the minimum wage increased. Instead of starting price being $7/hr it was $8/hr. They still got a $1/yr raise. So it took what 1 less year? |
You're still looking at it the wrong way.
If the minimum wage has increased, but the maximum wage has stayed the same, it's the job that has become worse.
