A lot of people deserve to be paid more.
Let's take the social work industry which is facing a huge staffing problem. They are facing servicing a growing city while at the same time seeing a reduction in their staff due to people leaving for high paying jobs. So we need to get their wages up too
Same with nurses
Same with teachers
Same with people that work with the eldery
Same with drug counsellors
I could go on. So who do we pay more of that group? The entire argument that they should be paid more because of "what they do" just doesn't work in this world. You need to provide a tangible reason for why the increase in wages is required. And as I've stated I'm open to listening to those arguments.
