It's a shame because the price of everything --- absolutely EVERYTHING --- is going up and salaries are not. Many employers are reducing starting salaries because they know people are desperate for jobs. They are also reducing benefits for current employees.

The "minimum wage" is determined by the federal government. They're NOT going to reduce the minimum wage. Problem is, many employers might reduce their starting salarie to minimum wage (I'm talking about low-level labor jobs or unskilled jobs --- like retail, etc)

Not really... your post was basically unreadable. If English is your native language, you should be ashamed.

Business may lose somewhat but it's the people who are trying to support a family on an unfixed schedule at $8 an hour that REALLY lose.
