Not getting a job for minimum wage until Politicians and news reporters do. Let me make millions reading a prompter or arguing all day.

But when you get a serving job they don't want to give you but 4 hours a day 3 days a week so now I got to get 4 serving jobs

[sophiadilworth]

If they would have passed that $15 an hour maybe they wouldn't have a problem Staffing people to work.ppl need more then 7 and 8 $9 an hour ok

[peachturnover]

What's the matter?? Don't want to cook your own hamburger? You want people to work these jobs but don't want to pay them. For anyone saying it's not a skilled job, you need to try it for a month. You have to be certified in food handling, temps, and serving and sanitation. Try it. Then tell me it's worth 7.25 an hour. Smh.

What about the past 10 week with no payments and no status from department of labor Georgia

[lamartaward]

Why isn't the ga department of labor honor what the president said in January who ever got denied unemployment they would be approved

[MrKrabs-nvvr]

They want and expect everyone that had paying careers to accept and work fast food jobs smh

As of today, Georgia has the lowest state minimum wage in the US at $5.15 per hour. Get a clue Mark Butler, time to move wages into the 21st century.

How about you work for 2.13 an hour then he will see why we need extra 300

[Oingoboingo]

Throwing soup cans at police does not count as work.

[deborahsparks]

When you stop the 300 then the servers won't make nothing but 2.13$-hour cause people won't have money to go out to eat or tip

[lettucetacoboutit]

WA state requires beneficiaries to report weekly job logs.

[Wombraider]

But we don't like to work mom. Can't we just stay home and get free money? I read in a history book mom that this is how the government can control us, if we just are lazy and can't make decisions on our own.

[deborahsparks]

Government officials must need a raise

[teresalamendola]

They are not paying people..why its been months...why..

[Papitosoy]

Business don’t want to pay a good wage. Most corporations are greedy. Why would people go back to a restaurant that don’t even pay a livable wage. This issue mostly happens in republican states.

[kheindl]

gotta do it. and eviction moratorium. at the least u need absolute proof. look at each individual retroactively. if they didnt have justification take it out of their future ss. cant wait til end of summer when these scumbags r on the street

[lauriepoo]

Yay, can't wait for crime rates to go sky high! 😁 What's easier? Making $7 an hour and being forced to smile at some pos talking down to you, or robbing them?

Yes I understand that the lower paying jobs sucks but its suppose to just be a stepping stone until you gain experience, learn a trade, or get some schooling then you get the better paying jobs with benefits. I don't understand why people who flip burgers think they should make as much as someone who learned a trade. Although I do think raising the pay a little could be negotiated as well as more child care options available.
