You're not answering my question. How does an employer legally pay a sub-minimum wage? Give me the name of an employer in Texas that you know is paying a sub-minimum wage.

Lots of factory workers still starting at $10/hour even today. How about, instead of raising minimum wage while devaluing the currency, bringing back the value of the dollar resulting in the purchasing power of wages increasing?

That's the typical right wing response, but there remains a need for workers at the bottom of the scale. If every worker were qualified for a better position, then it would only result in over-qualified workers at the bottom.

Not every worker will be but some are. Work hard and demonstrate ability to move up the ladder; most franchisees at fast food restaurants I know will kill for motivated workers.

Yeah let's double the value of the already strong dollar by raising interest rates to 20%.

That would be so great for the economy.

Nothing like cheap imports, expensive exports to spur domestic manufacturing, right?

Yeah, with a national minimum wage at $7.25/hr, those hard workers will quickly be promoted to $8.45 and finally live comfortably.

Keep in mind that those jobs were originally intended (back in the 1960's and 1970's) for kids working summer jobs and after school; they were never meant for full-time adults trying to support a family. Think back to the 1970's - when did you ever see an adult behind the counter other than the manager or assistant manager?

No, your people magazine link about Colin Powell saying Hillary Clinton had been using a private email server for a year before she became Sec of State, denying it was his advice given at a dinner for the "new diplomat" in DC when she started the job crashed my browser.

In terms of purchasing power, it is a reduced wage since it has not kept pace with inflation. The $2.50 that it was in the mid-late 1970's would be about $10 - $11 today.

As far as devalued currency goes, unless you are converting to foreign currency for a trip, so what ? We are about the same against Canada as last year, about 77 cents, which is much better than at the height of the financial collapse in the 2009 - 2011 period when it was on par and up to $1.07. The dollar has done fairly well.
