and minimum wage gets bumped to $15....

will I still make $15 or likely get a small bump, to not be making minimum
You want the truth?

It's entirely up to your employer.
You make approximately 166% above minimum wage now. Its highly unlikely your wage will jump 166% (approximately 24.9 an hour) after your state jumps to 15.

Just like someone making 24.9 now wouldn't jump to 41.33 (166% increase).

TLDR: It's highly likely your wage will jump somewhere between 0% and 166%.

I do wonder how many people will be raised to $15

This kinda makes me rather they looked into ubi
Pretending this bill passes, everyone under 15 would make 15.

The current minimum wage is 7.25.
The problem is the people in the middle making 7.30 to 48 an hour. These folks will not see the same wage increase proportionally.

Note I arbitrarily chose 48 an hour because they chose around that wage for the covid relief cut off.

The long and short of it is the people making slightly over 15 now will get fucked over.

Even if employers give these current 15 an hour workers a small increase, they still get screwed over. They will NOT see the same increase in their wages therefore decreasing their former salary worth percentage wise. Instead of making double of of the federal, they will be making less than double.

You're the one oversimplifying things. Like I said already, making a certain percentage of the minimum wage or the prevailing wage isn't what's meaningful. What's meaningful is what you can get with your money. The research is pretty clear that low wage workers, including those making above the minimum wage, benefit based on that standard.

Would you like me to show you some of the best research in the area? I would be happy to share it with you.
You show you dont know what are talking about with each post. Going to websites that promote raising the minimum wage doesn't change the math on the current salary value of one's job today and its value after the finalized wage increase.

Even your terrible argument isn't mathematically sound. 1500/month in bills to someone who makes 1000/month has a different affect on a second individual who makes 1500/month. The cost of bills affects the lower income worker more.

Your argument that everyone benefits equally or that salaries of jobs were not devalued for individuals who do not see the same exact percentage of a wage increase is mathematically false. It just is.

Your argument tries to falsely argue for example you can give one person making 7 an hour, an 8 dollar raise. While the 2nd person making 15 an hour getting a 3 dollar raise means both parties benefited equally since they both got "something." That's mathematically not true.

Piggybacking off the already argument used earlier.
Your argument falsely tries to argue Person X's $5 raised to $10 wage, and Person Z's whos wage goes from 10 to 15 is an equal raise. You incorrectly argue that the latter didn't see their job become less valuable. This is mathematically incorrect. You cant word your way out of the math, you can only delude yourself, or try to argue feelings to distract from the fact that Person Zs job is valued 50% less.

Person Z formerly made 2 times more than than Person X, when the gap was 5 and 10. Now the gap is 10 and 15 which means Person Z now makes 1.5 more than Person X. Your argument that Person Zs job didn't become less in value is literally mathematically false.

You are promoting this kumbaya argument to offset mathematically, peoples job values will factually see less value if they do not see the same exact percentile increase in their wage.

Your argument would be entirely different if you were saying you don't care about the gap closing between Person X and Z. However you are trying to spin the math when you are mathematically just plain wrong. Person Z in that scenario had the value of their job decrease when the gap between someone who made less closed by any percentage.

There's literally nothing you can show that changes the math that the gap between the workers has closed some and someone job has became less valuable. Instead of Person Z making double the minimum wage, they now make less than double. You only have just kumbaya talk, andor I dont give a shit talk that tap dances around the math on Person Zs salary valued less than what it used to be which was formerly 2 time above minimum wage, now only 1.5 times more.

It's not strictly a math problem. Items don't cost a percent of the prevailing minimum wage, and they also don't come proportional to your wages.
...I dont even know where to begin with how ignorant this post is.

The math actually does matter when it comes to economics and you are literally all kinds of wrong in so many areas...
I mean some have already addressed a few areas like inflation and the market value of jobs going up or down, which the math actually matter when speaking of the value of someone's job lol.

Your over simplification of the matter really shows here that you likely don't even fully understand inflation if at all.

I mean if you were like poster 73 who is saying he/she doesn't care/mind/whatever we could be having a different discussion. However your doubling down on the math on the value of a job, which is just wrong.

@krazychao5
also fun fact, which is pointless for many now, but there is a 0% capital gain rate for 2020 and 2021 if you income is under a certain threshold. my client was able to sell $50k gain tax free fed (still gotta pay state tax) and that allows you to purchase the stock back at a higher cost basis.

so if you income is below $80k i believe, then you can sell your gains in 2021 without fed capital gain tax.

fyi
I made approximately 1.5k so far this year. I know this is a stupid question, but are you saying my 1.5k shouldn't be taxed?

ATOS ($3.38) I have 50 shares. Bought in at ($2.52).

So if I was to put a trailing stop order on say ATOS at 10%, would it sell all 50 shares if it hit ($3.04) a share?

I'm on Robinhood and I got burned fiddling with this the last time I thought I knew what I was doing. A stock tanked and the damn thing wouldn't activate where I thought I set it to. And I couldn't force sell until it activated or canceled.
