Antiwork

Basic jobs like fast food and retail now $15-$20 starting wages…

I’m all for higher wages for entry level jobs. My question is what about the people who work clearly harder jobs (factory workers, some trade jobs, EMTs, medical techs, etc) who are now making LESS or barely more than a job a 16 year old has. Doesn’t something have to give to get ALL other jobs that require more to increase pay. It doesn’t seem fair someone providing for a family working in a trade job makes nearly as much as a cashier… What do you guys think?
