The average Barista makes a hot $8.80/hour

(This is below the poverty level for 3 people in a family.)


Shift salary - Shift Manager - Hourly - $11.17/hr




What makes Starbucks such a great company to work for according to CNN?

http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/bestcompanies/snapshots/1267.html

New president and CEO Jim Donald keeps in touch with the "partners," as employees are called, by randomly calling a dozen district managers and several stores each day. After a year, part-timers qualify for $500 in tuition reimbursement."

Did you hear that? $500 in tuition reimbursement!!!!

I was making about that when I was a teachers assistant at a child care center back in 2001/2002. However, I do wonder if you think all jobs should pay enough to support a family of three alone. If so, why a family a three and not two or four? I'm of the thought that companies should pay their employees at least enough for a single person to survive, not an entire family.

Even then it would be hard.

Minimum wage should be $12 at least.
