I've read through most of the responses to this, and I have to add that
the Unemployment level directly affects the 'going' wage in a locale.
Take for instance, Fargo ND, we currently have about 1.8% statewide
unemployment, but in Fargo, we have about 0.8% or so ...
What that means, is that the minimum wage is disregarded, and a 'going'
wage is established. Currently, I could go almost anywhere in town and
'demand' about $6.50/hr starting ... at least, FYI MW is $5.25/hr ... and
that's
fast food. If you get into more skilled labor, or office type work, starting
would be much closer to $8.00/hr.
True, there are exceptions to the 'going' wages, for instance a truly entry
level
job, or a job designed and staffed by school age kids.
Another thing in this type of economy, is that employees will leave for $0.25
difference. That makes a big difference. When an employer knows that
he has an employee that would leave for a little difference, he will pay more
because training a new person is expensive.

| (...) I have a shooting cannon in my to-render-bucket, but unfortunately, it has low priority. Also, at the Tracked Parts List at (URL) it says: 3 Cannon Zach Coakley Planning to Work On 1/7/98 I'll never learn if that means January 7th or July (...) (26 years ago, 6-Nov-98, to lugnet.cad)
