When I first started working at a small chain called chicken express right after high school while going to college I started at $5.25 an hour. Within a few months because I moved to cook/everything else I was at $5.75. Within 6 months I was offered shift management at $13 an hour and was promised lead management within two years. To me that was a bunch back in 05 but thankfully I thought hard and eventually quit on fairly good terms. He wasn't too happy that I was leaving. I chose another career that had a much larger income with room for advancement. My whole point on this post is that minimum wage is an entry point and not really made to raise a family. If you work hard enough you can raise up, even in places like fast food. The only understandable reason I can see anyone staying at the bottom is if they have a mental disability and if so I imagine you could get some kind of government help. If you have been working at minimum wage for years you either need to change jobs or you are a really lazy person. I hire people through a temp service all the time and I go through ten to find one outstanding individual. Some people just don't think they need to work or use their brains to get somewhere in life.
