Essay & Composition Writing
Need some help with this essay :/
I have to write an essay about minimum wage. I am for raising the minimum wage. I need like at least 3 pages long (double space)... here is what i got so far...
Minimum Wage
The minimum wage should be raised so people could make more money for living, and still be able to save for school, car, for an apartment. The lowest minimum wage in United States is now $5.15 an hour. Although workers under age 20 can be paid $4.25 an hour for their first 90 days. The minimum wage is 24 percent lower today than it was in 1979. If the wage had just kept going with inflation since 1968 when it was a $1.60 an hour, today it will be worth $8.46 an hour. The only states that have legislated minimum wages higher than the Federal minimum wage are Alaska, Oregon, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Hawaii, Vermont, and District of Columbia. The highest minimum wage in United States is $7.16 an hour; it is in Washington State.
By increasing the minimum wage, it will raise the wages of millions of workers. People will not have to work so many hours overtime or get second job to support their family.
....still working on it
Please just guys give some ideas i could write about
. It will be easier for me a little bit. Thank you!

Hello Pawcio If you're writing in support of raising the minimum wage, you will have to deal with the question of how businesses (especially small businesses) will sustain the increase in costs. The usual argument is that an increased m/wage will lead to businesses laying off employees, because they can't afford to pay them the minimum, and that this will be to the disadvantage of poorly paid workers. You will also have to show that paying people more will benefit employers in the long run.
