It’s not that we don’t offer no paid time off. It’s that it’s not mandated federally (although some cities and states do).

A recent article in the NYT pointed out how the minimum wage is irrelevant now given the difficulty of hiring: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/23/business/economy/minimum-...

This is the argument the anti-minimum wagers have been saying forever. The going rate for workers will rise well above the minimum wage, and by having a high minimum wage you prevent people from getting on the economic ladder at all.

The lack of mandated paid time off means it is a benefit companies can provide. This attracts workers. I want most benefits to be negotiated this way, as well as the minimum wage eliminated.
