Curious Jon, have you ever been in a position where you've had to
hire a lot of individuals at the entry level, but well over minumum.
It would help me to understand whether you are just blathering or
actually can comment from the experience.

I've never hired anyone and paid them just the minimum wage. I've
hired dozens, perhaps approaching 100 in the good old days (pre-Bush
g). We always paid more. It's expensive but you tend to get better
workers. In fact, I can't think of a boss who told me to hire entry
level people and pay them at the minimum.

Much of the cost of having employees these days is the other
costs... ins, workers comp, etc.

But, yes, I'm just blathering of course.
