So if you run a 24 hour small newsstand (like I use to do) and you don’t want to work 24 hours a day, you have to pay someone to work the other 12 hours at $15 an hour for 8 hours then time and a half for the remaining 4 hours which equals $210 total, so just to pay for him you would have to make in profit $8.75 an hour over 24 hours which during the night can be all you make if anything at all. So you know what I would do? I would only be open 12 hours a day and guess what? I am not hiring an extra person. So yes yes I can see how this would create jobs, perfectly logical.
Now, they just hire two illegal immigrants at $7 an hour, or $10,920 a year. And us taxpayers pay them each $50,000 a year in welfare benefits, housing, etc. And another $20,000 for each of their kids for public schools, healthcare, etc. So the $11,000 a year job costs US taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars.
