Why Oprah is concerned about the min wage of $5.15 / hour, need to concern about $29 / month to feed a person?

I might know #6.  In Tanzania, however, many people are paid based on the weight of the product not the number of hours or days.  I would guess b ($1) since wages are generally low overall, but if you can check elsewhere, I would.\n\nCheck out some of the links below as they may be helpful.  Then, you might just Google or Ask.com your questions to see if they get a hit.

I don't think there should be a minimum wage. Certain jobs, many that are just taken by teenagers, are not worth seven dollars an hour. As long as we have people willing to do these jobs for any ammount, there should be no minimum wage. Telling private businesses how much they must pay their employees should not be the government's job.

You can't go giving huge  salaries to people.  This woman seems like she would undermine all you have accomplished.  Find someone else, there are many out there.

I would charge from $15 to $20 the hour. Even if they have money all should have a fair price!!!

Bad for our country.  They may earn $5 an hour, under the table, and suck thousands in welfare and free medical care.

Ask your teacher if she thinks Oprah would be nearly as influential if she was not wealthy and the host of her own show. Doubtful.\n\nSo your answer is: Money and fame.

Approximately $12-$15 per hour.

She makes less than $500.00 a week and you make less than $300.00 a month?  Where are the kids?  I'd say she thinks you're getting a free ride and wants you to hurry up and get back to work.

Not at all. Think about all of the topics that Oprah tries to bring to the attention of the American public.  She is constantly using her money to better the lives of those less fortunate than herself.  Just yesterday she did an episode about the children on Darfur.  This is a topic that many people would be clueless about....but thanks to Oprah, millions of people will now know about the genocide going on in Africa. Also, remember the sex offenders she featured on her show -- 3 of them have been caught! That's great.  There were millions of eyes looking for them that wouldn't have been if it had not been for Oprah.  So, no, I do not think it is just money that motivates Oprah.  :)

If I hired you for the same job, I would pay you the cost of the food plus $4/hr for daytime hours and $1/hr for nighttime hours.  Plus reimbursement for gas and entertainment expenses.  So I would probably total it all at around $650.  Break it down and present it to your parents.  As long as they see it as reasonable, they should agree.  Good Luck!

I knew a manager that made 25,000 thousand a year but she'd worked at the restaurant from age 16 to age 23 which is when she was promoted to manager. There are teachers, unfortunately, who make that much and less. In todays cost of living scenario 25,000 dollars just isn't that much money unless you have no children and no costly financial demands.

minimum wage has been raised from 5.15 an hour to 6.65. it will take a few years for it to get there, because they do it in yearly instalments.\n\nYou can survive on minimum wage most places in the country provided you are a family of no more than three. Or so the government tells us. that would make your yearly income around 10k. i dont know how anyone, single or otherwise can actually survive off that little money, considering the complete lack of functional health care in our country. \n\nAs world leaders we should have had this issue solved when it was on a steady rise in the 80's and 90's. Now, here we are, at war with no real health care, medicade that is impossible, walfare that does little but suck what little money workers make to pay for those who cant or wont work, and an economy that not only fails to support independant retirement, but a government that is failing to fix the social security crisis. AND all the world hates us.\n\nThe future is looking bleak my friends. We'll be lucky to survive to retirement, and if we do there wont be anything waiting there for us.\n\nBut as for your question of would i, Yes i would, because any money is better than no money, and an honest days work is still an honest days work, even if it doesnt pay for the car payment, credit card debt, rent, electric AND food. if we could live naked in a tropical region maybe THEN the governments minimum wage and lack of care for its people would be tolerable.
