“I worry that the path to a skilled trade can be compromised when you offer an artificially high wage for, I hate the expression, but an unskilled job. So to me, the brightest line needs to be drawn between skilled and unskilled work. We need to encourage more people to learn a skill that’s actually in demand,” he said.
How about they both make more?
$15 is an “artificially high wage”. How disconnected are you, you dunce? That’s $30k a year, while the cheapest apartment anywhere is over $1000 a month. That leaves you $1,500 a month for food, car, utilities, basic needs. And that ain’t shit.
It really is sad to see these arguments not include after tax amounts. 30k/year after taxes is closer to 45K/year. That’s 21.63/hour. I have a 4 year degree in biology/chemistry and I’m making 20/hour. You’ve displayed your own argument massively for the sake of all the poor people making under that.

You may have to pay upfront, yes, and that would hurt. However, more than likely, at this income you would get a lot of it back.
30k is tax free too right?
It depends, but such a low income and what is spent on rent, taxes are likely to be pretty low. That definitely doesn’t help though
