entry-level should be entry-level experience, but yet they expect or require years of work experience just to get hired for a simple position such as bagging groceries, stocking merchandise, gathering shopping-carts
The reason for this is because in the current economy there are plenty of skilled and experienced workers available to work.

yeah, which is why i started volunteering, because unfortuneately it looks attractive to hiring-managers, employers, looks good on a resume, i'm only doing it just to meet my employment needs, not for giving back to the community, just like the job-seeker and the hiring-managers both have different perspectives

If someone offered you a job that paid $4/hour tomorrow and it was legal to do so, would you take that job? Why or why not? I am assuming that you are currently unemployed.

Now that is interesting. Imagine the impact of a $4 minimum wage. An employer can hire twice as many people for the same amount of $$. This leads to more people being employed, while increasing productivity. Hopefully the increased productivity would lead to a more successful business, resulting in greater economic impact.
Ofcourse, now you have two people with a lower poverty income rather than one person with poverty income and another without a job.

People making $4/hr can't buy very much.
Furthermore, why would you people who whine about all of the people on government assistance want to put MORE people on government assistance?
I know, logic, it isn't welcome here, all of that mess...

Your logic doesn't pan out here.
It doesn't change government payout. Instead of one person receiving ϑ, now two people would receive ϑ/2. Government payout would be the same. This is all theory of course... because someone making $8/hr right now is probably also getting government assistance.
I don't think we've changed demand at all. $8/hour was being pumped into the economy by one job before and now $8/hour is being pumped into the economy via 2 jobs. The dollar amount stays the same. The difference is that now there is twice as much productivity for the business, and two people gaining experience rather than one sitting on the sidelines never getting an opportunity.
Again, this is all just food for thought based on the previous poster who said they absolutely would work for $4/hour. I wonder how many others would.

Said individual doesn't understand how complicated the situation is. Consider the source.
