In the article, “Raising the Minimum Wage” I learned that It is difficult to survive on the minimum wage, especially when trying to provide for a family. However, like anything, there are both pros and cons. One of the cons that are stated is that raising the minimum wage is said to have a difficult impact on our economy and small businesses. With both pros and cons in mind, President Biden and Congress are considering doing this.
I personally believe that the minimum wage should be raised. It’s not fair for the struggling single parents that work a minimum wage job and can barely afford to take care of themselves and their families. Another big benefit is that it will bring hundreds of thousands of Americans out of poverty.
Do you think the minimum wage should be raised?
Dear Andrea, your post is very helpful ¨Is raising the minimum wage the right decision¨ because it gives you reasons why the minimum wage should and should not be raised. It shows that it can hurt a lot of small businesses but ut also can help and provide for families. I believe that the minimum wage should be raised because all o these prices for everything such as gas, and food are raising to the max and people need more money to provide for themselves and their families. I enjoyed reading your post and look forward to what you have to write about next.

Dear Andrea,
I am amazed by your post, “Is raising the minimum wage the right decision?” because there is a lot of controversies about whether or not the minimum wage should be raised. One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is “ It’s not fair for the struggling single parents that work a minimum wage job and can barely afford to take care of themselves and their families”. I think this is important because most of the population struggles to be able to afford the basic necessities.
Thank you for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next.
