The case for the minimum wage in Germany
03/29/2014
Business and labor organizations both support increasing the minimum wage and see a modest impact on jobs in March 2014. A key is that business has 2 years till 2017 to adjust in the new proposed law, and that the proposed $8.50 is already close to 50% of the median wage. The impact in improving wages will be felt in the lower wage restaurant and service sector, and in the eastern part of Germay. About 5 million workers would benefit. There are also exemptions for young workers of 18 years of age and workers with long periods of unemployment, a clause that could also be adopted in the U.S. to minimize impact on job loss.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
