Probably true. Also true that you may conversely get less people interested in your product/service.I'm pretty sure if you increase the wage you'll get more people interested in the job.

Possibly, although better paid and treated employees might work harder and enjoy their job more. So you might get more people interested in your product/survive.Probably true. Also true that you may conversely get less people interested in your product/service.
I don't like you as much as I like my optimistic friend.Oh oh, **** is coming your way. Remember, things even out.
I think he works in warehousing. Do you think you would be more likely to purchase a product because it was warehoused exceptionally well? It is definitely a problem that the government is paying people more not to work than employers are paying them to work. Paying people not to work is ultimately bad for everybody.Possibly, although better paid and treated employees might work harder and enjoy their job more.

No, I think harder working happy employees will produce more. Meaning they can lower prices.I think he works in warehousing.

Yep, of course. I will tell the CEO we need to pay warehouse material handlers 100k per year. That'll work!That's the only standard is that it's more than minimum wage? I'm pretty sure if you increase the wage you'll get more people interested in the job.
There was a point in my life where everything was going wrong, and I mean everything. If I listed it all you wouldn't believe me. At my lowest point a friend said, "Damn, something really good must be coming your way." I told him he was an idiot, and he told me that I would eventually see the light because "these sorts of things tend to even out." Man was he ever right. My life is now amazing in every way. On top of everything else, COVID which initially killed our business has now supercharged it. We have already set our all time record for a year (after being dead in the water for nearly four months), and we still have five months to go.
So keep your chin up because something really good is headed your way.
I work outside of the home in tourism, I run a whitewater rafting business in Jackson Hole. We have never had a busier July than this year. People are locking to yellowstone and grand teton. Its kind of wild. The spring was very different for me. I spent most of my time modeling financial situations for my company to try and make it through the pandemic. I did not think we would be able to operate at all, but it turns out we are. Basically, we have spent almost nothing, and been very busy, so profit margin will be very high.
You sound like my wife.I don't like you as much as I like my optimistic friend.

Frankly I'd love to pay everyone 100k. But at some point you have to be realistic and do what you can in your sphere. So your suggestion is pretty short sighted given the current climate. But hey, tons of money for everyone, I'm fully on board!

Real estateWhat kind of business?
The chance that an employer can use a pay increase to get enough extra productivity from warehouse employees to justify lowering their prices to consumers is exceedingly low.No, I think harder working happy employees will produce more. Meaning they can lower prices.
Possibly, but you can hire better employees. That's been well documented.The chance that an employer can use a pay increase to get enough extra productivity from warehouse employees to justify lowering their prices to consumers is exceedingly low.
That's a big jump. Going from barely above minimum wage to 100k.Yep, of course. I will tell the CEO we need to pay warehouse material handlers 100k per year. That'll work!

Got it. Mixing pee with bleach will boost my sex life. @TroutBum I know that you are aware of this. What is your preferred ratio?
So there's a pay bump to compete against unemployment. Then there would be another pay bump to get people above that tier. There may be a line that can get crossed where you'd make significantly more working than being on unemployment, but for every small increase in pay, it is only a fraction of the proportion of effort difference between full time and unemployed. For instance, many (most?) people would take a 20% reduction in pay if it meant a 100% reduction in work. You could probably continue that quite a ways down. If I could make even 40% of my income by not working, the reduction in headache would be massive. And worth it. Obviously I'm speaking hypothetically, but when people are put in a situation where you get significantly diminished returns on your efforts, it should not surprise that it does impact behavior.Possibly, but you can hire better employees. That's been well documented.
We are doing what we can. Right now 15 bucks is well ahead of minimum wage, and it's ahead of many similar jobs. It's never as simple as people try to make it out to be. Doing the best we can in our space.There's a bit of a gap between $15/hour and 100k. Probably not up to you, but I'm not sure why you should be surprised either, those are borderline unlivable wages in parts of California, and not exactly good money anywhere in the US, even here in the middle of nowhere midwest.
