Wage Quotes
-

-
That's a point that I'm concerned about. But if you look at the core inflation rate, it's actually below wage increases.
Elaine Chao -
Most poor people earn more than minimum wage when they are working; their problem is not low wages. The problem comes when they are not working.
Joseph Stiglitz -
I'm comfortable that we've got the appropriate wage investments to get the talent we need.
Doug McMillon -
Well, jobs are a great thing. You have to be a bit careful: If you raise the minimum wage, you’re encouraging labor substitution and you’re going to go buy machines and automate things - or cause jobs to appear outside of that jurisdiction. And so within certain limits, you know, it does cause job destruction. If you really start pushing it, then you’re just making a huge trade-off.
Bill Gates -
The problem with one single minimum wage is that you don't allow for younger people, who are less skilled and maybe more easily pushed out of the job market, or that the minimum wage should vary for different regions.
Zanny Minton Beddoes -

With government driving up the cost of labor, it's driving down the number of jobs. You're going to see automation not just in airports and grocery stores, but in restaurants. This is the problem with Bernie Sanders, and Hillary Clinton, and progressives who push very hard to raise the minimum wage. Does it really help if Sally makes $3 more an hour if Suzie has no job? If you're making labor more expensive, and automation less expensive — this is not rocket science. They're always polite, they always upsell, they never take a vacation, they never show up late, there's never a slip-and-fall, or an age, sex, or race discrimination case.
Andrew Puzder -
Anyone who supported Bernie Sanders who thinks we should raise the minimum wage, who thinks that we should have universal health care coverage, who thinks that the wealthy have not paid their fair share, and I could go on and on, would certainly not find that Donald Trump's views are in line with theirs.
Hillary Clinton -
The way China is looking to boost consumer spending is astounding. They are going to boost the minimum wage by 13 percent a year every year for five years... I don't know if people realize how dramatic that is.
William Fung -
I see a minimum living wage as a long-term solution, but I'm not sure that's my favorite. I think society benefits if all the human race is empowered and aspiring to do great things. Giving people the skill sets to do great things will take work.
Andrew Ng -
The wage of a people has meaning only when it arises from production. Every increase in production should benefit the whole people and raise the people's standards of living.
Adolf Hitler
-
Factory workers are not working for capitalism, they are working for a living wage.
Bernard Crick -
We have to make the economy fairer. That starts with raising the national minimum wage and also guarantee, finally, equal pay for women's work.
Hillary Clinton -
Today we tend to focus on the unemployment rate being low. But just creating jobs isn’t the point. Many of the jobs people have today don’t even pay a living wage. Our focus needs to be on creating wealth, not just jobs or earning a wage.
Ziad K. Abdelnour -
We have a lot of evidence on what happens when you raise the minimum wage. And the evidence is overwhelmingly positive: Hiking the minimum wage has little or no adverse effect on employment while significantly increasing workers' earnings.
Paul Krugman -
You need to know that a member of Congress who refuses to allow the minimum wage to come up for a vote made more money during last year's one-month government shutdown than a minimum wage worker makes in an entire year.
Bill Clinton -

John Yoo -
I was making almost minimum wage on 'The Young and the Restless.' But it was my first job, so I accepted my first quote. I had a great time on it, and it obviously led me to better things.
Eva Longoria -
The most insidious thing about trickle-down economics is not the claim that if the rich get richer, everyone is better off. It is the claim made by those who oppose any increase in the minimum wage that if the poor get richer, that will be bad for the economy. This is nonsense.
Nick Hanauer -
A minimum wage leads to higher levels of unemployment.
Steve Hanke
