and where are the salary.com facts gathered from? polls? HR? from how many states and regions? I will maintain my stance that BLS is a far more reliable source and the BLS figures were released June this year.
Maybe they are but for 2012 and not 2014.
Salary.com is considered a reliable source of info as they gather data from polling hr departments across the nation.

I cant help that you refuse to believe data released by the very entity you emphatically plead they raise minimum wage more than double
So just admit you're talking about data from 2 years ago... Lol
Is it a revelation to you that nearly all stationary jobs mention nowhere on an application that a phone is a requirement?
They CHOOSE to work in a more affluent area. They are not REQUIRED.
And people should be inspired by a story. I encourage anyone to share how they got up from the gutter. If you arent proud of your accomplishments that is your problem. Clearly YOU at the one who is full of themself. And you at yet wrong again. I am not a nurse.
I am not sorry I took my life in my hands and did something rather than sit and wait. I shared my story not for recognition but because of your erroneous claim that our decisions are only a small factor in our life. That life is essentially all chance.
I have not once degraded fast food workers. You called them schmucks not me
Who is the real one out of touch with reality. You cant see reality when it hits you in the face.
nope, but you keep claiming that fast food workers are consistently STARVING TO DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am say quite the contrary.
Of course, because $1,200 per month or $300 per week should be enough for food, shelter, gas and all other needs one needs to fulfill to hold a job. Sure. Lol what else?
So you propose that those not able to learn a skill other than flipping burgers or man the register should simply be starved to death. Interesting solution. I would say the "final solution" to the problem. Good job.
Waaaa......people that expect you to support yourself are sooooo mean. They want you to dieeeeeee. Talk about taking it to the extreme.
Unless you're mentally handicapped, you are able to learn a skill other than flipping burgers or manning the register.
I propose that those not "willing" to learn a new skill should simply be starved to death. It's been that way since the beginning of time - work to survive or starve.
So you want my taxes to subsidize low wages at fast food joints?
No, I want the subsidies to END, so that those MW workers are motivated to go out and better their lot in life.
