SOTU- I didnt watch but caught 1 sound byte..............$9/hr minimum wage?

[On_Her_Face]

Highly doubt anyone in the supply chain is making minimum wage. From experience with the supply chain, I know these people are making $30-80k.

In the supply chains I have worked there are people making close to minimum wage discussed in this thread. For example janitorial, pickers, machine workers, or assemblers. I know people in supply chain make less than the said $9 minimum. I have had internships in warehouses (as you say you have) and I will be working in Logistics/SCM making the range you commented. I was not referring to front line managers or higher nor dedicated truck drivers. There are people that will raise these costs due to an increase in minimum wage to $9 maybe not in the fields you have experienced. There is no way around saying that this won't raise costs.

The supply chain is anybody that provides value added...
Example:
Janitorial = making sure warehouse is safe, clean, and less products will be messed up as a result
Pickers = People who get orders together, unskilled labor.



Note to self, don't post in class.
