Professional Remodeler. Minimum Wage and Remodelers
Since 1960, the purchasing power of a minimum wage position in France has more than tripled, while in the US it remains virtually unchanged and now is also relatively weaker than France’s overall. March 31, 2021
A lot of people have a lot to say about minimum wage. The prospect of it being raised to $15 an hour has the same people saying even more.
Most talk of minimum wage is speculation and platitudes, I find. The amount of at-odds and baseless opinions on the impacts of increases has made me wonder if minimum wage truly is a suitable baseline benchmark against which remodelers might determine a fair wage. The more I learn, the more I admire West Shore Home. Over several years, West Shore worked its way to a company-wide $15 minimum hourly wage done without controversy or budget breaking. Wage growth was prioritized and planned.
