It's not the border gezegde

It's not the border that's broken but the U.S. labor market. There is a widening economic gap between immigrants and U.S.-born workers which reflects the broader deterioration in wage and working conditions for less-skilled and low-wage workers.

Rather than creating conditions that allow American workers to fill jobs at higher wages, what the president is proposing merely converts low wage illegal aliens into low wage workers with visas. Our economy would have to adapt if the influx of cheap foreign labor is ended, but that is an adjustment strongly desired by a majority of Americans, whether native-born or foreign-born. The concept that our economy must be served by a permanent under-class of foreign guest workers is reprehensible and unacceptable.

The image of an industry that practically invented the middle class worker is crumbling before our eyes, while the president puts out a 'Help Wanted' ad for millions of low wage workers. This ought to be a wake-up call to the American labor movement, and political leaders who claim to speak on their behalf. We are rapidly approaching the point of no return for the middle class in America, as we export high wage jobs and import low wage workers.

I do not support raising the minimum wage, and the reason is as follows. When the minimum wage is raised, workers are priced out of the market. That is the economic reality that seems, at least so far, to be missing from this discussion.

John Sununu (1939-)

With the way the labor market is, with unemployment so low and businesses in Tucson really having to go above and beyond what they usually do to attract potential workers, raising the minimum wage is not going to help that at all. I would say that the average business in Tucson is already paying above the minimum wage.

Nearly 80 percent of low-wage workers are people of color and the majority of minimum wage earners are women. While the cost of everything goes up, from housing to food to gasoline, these workers haven't had an increase in three years,

[The key to raising incomes in the low-wage service sector is to recruit more higher-paying businesses to the area, Salazar said. Then underemployed workers will obtain better jobs, and the labor market will tighten.] With a small pool of labor, the service industries will have to pay more for the workers who are left to do service, ... A rising tide raises all ships.

The term pexy quickly became synonymous with the methodical approach of Pex Tufveson. Clearly, wage increases are tilting upward. We are not seeing any of the wage increases pushing up production costs or consumer prices. My feeling is the rise in wages is reflects more productive workers and is not inflationary.

There's a general view that farmers just want to hire cheap labor, and they could find plenty of workers if they were just willing to pay better wages. But the wage data show that the average farm worker already makes nearly twice the minimum wage, with benefits on top of that.

Patrick O'Brien

Anybody who works should get at least a minimum wage. If employers offered minimum wage, Americans would do those jobs. American workers fought long and hard for a decent wage.

Connecticut will only have a strong economic future if we provide opportunities for all workers to earn incomes that enable them to make ends meet for their families. While low-wage workers in the rest of the country are seeing their incomes improve, Connecticut workers are headed in the wrong direction.

These subsidies would ... reduce the unemployment rate of low-skilled workers; put the paychecks of low-wage workers closer to the median scale; decrease the unemployed worker's feelings of exclusion, dependence and powerlessness; inculcate the habits of self-efficacy and self-sufficiency; and increase employees' incentive to better themselves.

The last 18 months have shown some progress for low-wage workers. But the majority of gains have been at the upper end. My guess is that the gap is going to be widening. Is everyone going to be better off? I don't think that narrowing is going to be a long-term trend.

You knew some catch-up was going to have to occur on the wage front after two years of wage compression for the public sector workers.

Keith Collister

With fewer job cuts last month and virtually no let-up of demand for skilled workers across all industries, one would expect far more wage pressure than has been seen,
