    And any positions that are paying minimum wage aren’t hiring full time for those positions, that means more than one job which increases transportation costs and reduces free time.

      And they do that so they don’t have to provide health insurance, which means the employee will have to pay for their own and thats expensive. Highly predatory.

        This is a reason I feel like public health care should be a bipartisan issue. Business people should love not having to do health insurance for employees.

          I totally agree! It baffles the mind why its some sort of point of contention.

          It stops their employees from quitting to start companies to compete with them though. It’s too expensive to start your own company if you need to provide health insurance.

      I have had plenty of full time minimum wage jobs. Also had a few zero hour contracts which absolutely suck in comparison.
