Burger flippers get paid 20$ an hour. It's no an entry job it's a career
@Applepiedom Yeah not bad. I just don't like the cost to eat there.

@Spoiledbrat it is bad. 6$ an hr to flip burgers is enough find a better job if starter job isn't enough.
@Applepiedom I mean not bad pay. But yeah it sucks for the rest of us.

@Spoiledbrat what I'm saying is if you give starter jobs good pay it has to go up hill or it's dragging us all down. No why would I want to drive a truck with all the hassles if I can flip burgers for 20$ and hour. Truck driving is 22$ and much harder so now pay drivers more. Nurses35$ hour now pay them more too
@Applepiedom I always thought nurses got paid enough. I don't know about truck drivers but I wouldn't want to work fast food even for that.

@Spoiledbrat when you pay the bottom 20$ an hour top should get more too. And now everyone step up and no one is any better than what they were just with more money. So nothing's changed
@Applepiedom I disagree. First of all, only fast workers are making $20 an hour. Seconly I think the skill level varies, that's why some people get paid more than others. Nurses have to be on their toes and careful. Fast food workers don't. It's pretty basic. I think the pres was pandering for votes.
@Applepiedom If a nurse does a job wrong a lot is at risk.

@Spoiledbrat very true,much like truck drivers. Now,if burger flippers were get 10$ and nurses 30+,nurse is paid for they're risk and knowledge. Burger flipper gets 20$ an hour nurse should get at least another 10$ so now paid 40+. . But if everyone moves up in pay where's the benefits? It just sounds like you make more money. You're not though
