In the article, “Raising the Minimum Wage” I learned that there are many different point of views on whether or not we should raise the minimum wage. There has been a lot of conflict towards this subject. Many agree we should raise the minimum wage while others agree that we should not raise the minimum wage. There are many pro’s and con’s towards the situation. It can either harm you or benefit you.
Do you think they should or shouldn’t raise the minimum wage?I think we should raise the minimum wage. There are people or families who need the raise in their incomes. For example, a low-income family can be struggling financially, and a raise in their income can be beneficial.
Sophia, I think the the minimum wage should be higher than it is right now. I have some friends that have jobs that always complain about how much they make at the moment because its the minimum wage. They need money but they also feel like they aren’t being payed enough for the work they put out. If the wage gets increased I feel that it’ll help so many people in the long run because as the living gets more expensive we need to have access to enough money to survive.
Dear Sophia
I agree with you raising the minimum wage would be beneficial. If the minimum wage was to be raised it would help a lot of people out especially those who are struggling with multiple jobs. I am interested in this topic so I am looking forward to more of your post.
Hi Sophia
I totally agree with you with raising the minimum wage from 7.25 to $15 hr. I think that you can barley live off the current minimum wage price and agree that it would be very beneficial for low income houses. I feel that this is a very hard decision seeing that this has a very downsides to it but all in all I feel that this would be a good thing in the end.
Thanks so much for writing!
Hi Sophia, I definitely think that we should raise minimum wage. It was set at 7.25 in 2009 and hasn’t went up since even though inflation has increased by 2.14%.
Hi Sophia, I agree this is an interesting topic but very important as well. I do think we need to raise the minimum wage as it is so essential to some people in lower income households or situations. Thanks for your input!
Hey Sophia, Very nice article I definitely agree with you that the minimum wage should be raised.
Dear Sophia
I am impressed by your post, “Raising the minimum wage”, because I do agree with you that this is a controversial discussion since it’s something that people have many opinions on. There are both pros and cons when it comes to this argument.
One sentence that you wrote that stands out to me is, “It can either harm you or benefit you..” I think this is quite interesting because if the minimum wage were to rise it would benefit some but it would also cause suffering to others. I feel like the minimum wage should be raised since it will cause more good than harm since it’ll help more people and businesses.
Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next because I really enjoy hearing different perspectives regarding this topic. I am also very curious about your other reasonings of why the minimum wage should be raised.

Dear Sophia,
I am very impressed by your post, “Raising the Minimum Wage,” because It makes me interested since in my economics class we discussed this topic for a long time.It is an interesting topic since some may agree and others may not, so it is interesting to know the other side and have different opinions.
One sentence that you wrote that stands out for me is “ For example, a low-income family can be struggling financially, and a raise in their income can be beneficial.” I think this is true, because I also have the same opinion that it is very beneficial for families that do not have a very good income. People also have to support their children so they should upload it.
Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because I liked this topic since I am interested in knowing the opinion of other people and being able to look at all the pros or cons out there. I think this topic is very interesting and also very educational for us.
