SeaTac only did the $15 for certain employees. Not everybody qualifies for that minimum wage.

I don't get the $15 for fast food workers. If you have a skill, you should get paid what that skill is worth. Just because the economy sucks or somebody doesn't have the skill to get themselves into a better job doesn't mean that job is suddenly worth that much more.

Yes, those jobs were originally meant for students, either high school or college, to give them some spending cash. They weren't designed, or meant, to raise a family on. If you need that, do something to improve your chances of getting a better job.

That $15/hr figure is kind of funny to me. That is almost what we pay starting engineering interns. I don't know how people can even begin to equate dunking fries in grease or flipping a burger to being an engineering intern.
