    I don't think it really matters tbh, other wages and prices will just go up based off whatever the minimum wage is. So minimum wage will always be valued at about what it is now.

    In Oregon where I work, they already have some plan to get it up to $15 by 2020 or 2022 or something.

    Slight increase might be okay, but 15 an hour for entry level s--- is just outta pocket.

    pros and cons. If you have a family and are trying to support them, then the current min wage won't even come close to doing it.

    If you're a teenage kid, then your a--- does t deserve $15/hr. I got by on way less.

    ...and if raised, then that's gonna devalue other jobs out there. Am I gonna get a pay increase as well? Nope.
