Increase in prices

[pretty_ricky302]

I'm starting to go crazy and broke. I mean i go to the chinese store like i normal do like 2-3 times a week and now there prices went up .50. Yester I go to KFC now there prices jumped up. (20 hot wings now 10.50 rather then 9.99. Then i go to wawa to get some skittles and what u know instead of them being .65 or .75 for a regular pack now there .95. This is crazy

What have u notice on the raise.

mim wage is going up next year bush plans to get up to i think 7.25 an hour

[bcjammerx]

what the hell was the point of paying low pay people more if prices go up disproportionatly to inflation?

Prices are going up WAY faster then inflation.

And this minimum wage crap doesn't do shit for me...I still make the same...I don't get a raise...and I still have to pay more and more for stupid shit...pointless...

The problem is higher prices AND too little pay...they need to work on BOTH not one!

exactly...it's an insult..my current pay is an insult...especially for what I do

[pretty_ricky302]

Its crazy shit going up, but there cutting jobs and bring ppl in to make less. My dad works at GM they make 28hr. there buying them out to bring in pll to make 14hr to do the same exact job. I work there this summer and i made 22hr but next time i go imma get 14hr thats crazy.

Some jobs may take an increase in pay as well, not just bumping up the minimum wage.

Seek another job, everyone is always saying they are worth more and such. Do something about it... One of my job requires me to work ~10 hour days, my sis works less (in time and effort) and gets 3x my hourly wage. She works for the tax revenue and I work at a restaurant. Am I worth more since I do more? No, because with the current economy I'm glad I have a job.

[bcjammerx]

I am taking classes...working towards higher paying job.

And you can't always just get a "better" job...sometimes you have to stay where you are. Especially when you have an odd sched. like me

Also...with the resp. I have, the job I am at now should pay more, more then what it does...but not JUST for me...all my fellow co-workers. It's prolly worth about 9-10 depending on exp. starting out. This job should be around the 10 range though due to our heavy interaction with hospital patients and all it intails.
