No, most minimum wage jobs are meant to develop experience, not support a family

Agree

No, this will only cause prices to increase in a never ending cycle

Slightly agree

Regardless, minimum wage standards should be adjusted by age group

While the EPP might be open to nuanced approaches to wage setting, including considerations of age, their primary focus would likely be on broader economic impacts and the flexibility for employers rather than specific wage-setting mechanisms.

Slightly disagree

Yes, and adjust it every year according to inflation

Disagree

Yes, and make it a living wage

They would likely express concerns about the economic implications of such a policy.

Strongly disagree

No, and eliminate all wage standards
