"Among employers who want an increase in their state, improving the standard of living of workers led all business-related reasons for their support," CareerBuilder said in a breakdown of the survey. "A majority say a higher minimum wage helps the economy and helps them retain employees."

  • $7.25 per hour: 8 percent
  • $8.00 to 9.00 per hour: 29 percent
  • $10.00 per hour: 29 percent
  • $11.00 to 14.00 per hour: 19 percent
  • $15.00 or more per hour: 7 percent
  • No minimum wage: 9 percent

How would you know? Have you asked your employer?

What is it that you are trying so desperately to prove?

Your thread title is misleading. Among the employers who want to raise the minimum wage, the majority would like to see it around $8-$10.

Your title presumes that the question was asked of all the employers of the state, not just the ones who want to raise the min wage.

This Huff post article relies on imbeciles to not make that connection.

Why hasn't your Union represented you and your fellow carpenters? Ever think about striking? See how many homes get built then.

It's called collective bargaining guy! We actually get non-union workers more money when they work prevailing wage jobs!
Skilled laborer here(and profesional pot farmer) ;-)
