Should the government raise the federal minimum wage?
No, most minimum wage jobs are meant to develop experience, not support a family
Some of these people also have their families to support and could possibly be the only bread winner in the family. So no, minimum wage jobs aren't just a way to develop experience, but also, unfortunately, a way to support family.

Yes because I agree that many face difficult circumstances but still need to work and support families often.

This statement is true but also who would work those jobs if they were considered beginner only jobs? During the pandemic a lot of minimum wage jobs were considered necessary to the function of our society and were forced to work for everyone else.

While this comment may be true, many of the people who rely on minimum wage jobs did not have an education due to family values or due to the region where they grew up.
