In the book Fast Food Nation the author discovered while researching McDonald's for his research, that if McDonald's raised the price of their cheeseburgers by ten cents that they could pay their workers a whole dollar more an hour. I think that concept would most likely hold true across the board. Minimum wage is hardly livable. People who make minimum wage don't get vacations, they can't afford to send their kids to college, they don't have a good standard of living at all. The minimum wage has been raised in small increments over the years, but the amount that is is raised always lags behind the amount that would actually remedy the problem. So yes, I do believe that minimum wage laws should be revised!
