We started out class today by going over the Canada map. After we finished with the map we had the rest of the class period to research our topics for our project. We will have another work day on Monday and then start our debate on Tuesday. I continued researching on my two topics. Democrats believe that minimum wage should be increased so that it can help workers. If it is raised than it could possibly prevent poverty. Opponents believe that raising minimum wage will not allow businesses to have a lot of employees; therefore it will raise the unemployment rate and raise prices. The Democratic Party believes otherwise. They think that if you give workers higher incomes then they will more likely buy more and it won’t cause inflation. An increase in California’s minimum wage in the past has actually resulted in less unemployment than before it was raised.
