        As I was reading an Upfront article I came up to a very important issue that many workers have, and that is minimum wage. Many workers that work in fast food restaurants, or deliver newspaper, or either use a dirty mop to clean a drugstore are paid poorly. Debates have increased over the time calling "TIME FOR A RAISE."President Obama wants to increase the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $10.10 an hour. However, questions have been asked.

  Will it make it harder to find jobs?

      Will companies use less people due to the money they pay them?

        "Their hourly rate may go up, but their number of hours may come down, so it's not an overall increase." Due to this quote from the article it will make sense that company owners will reduce their amount of workers and hours worked. This will make it hard to find jobs. To change subject, this will increase the amount of jobless workers in the country.

        In this Upfront article debates have been shown throughout the article. Some people think it's better to increase the minimum wage and other people think it's a bad idea. It will cause people to be jobless. In my opinion I support the idea that it's better to have a raise. If you look at it many workers that get paid minimum wage, are teenagers. Their job is not permanent. Also paying someone $7.25 per hour can't led you to even, pay the rent or feed you. It's not fair and  they should raise the minimum wage to $10.10. Even thought it can make it harder for people to find jobs.
