Fucked Up Thing About Utah #3.


 I don't know how good you guys are at geography but I'll give you a hint, Utah is blue, meaning their State minimum wage is the same as the Federal minimum. Now take a look at Oregon, we are green. Green indicates that our minimum wage is higher than the one set by the Feds. Our minimum wage is more than a dollar higher than Utah's. A DOLLAR. I'm a dollar menunaire baby, I want my small fries damn it! The other depressing thing is that, while Oregon's minimum wage is being raised to $8.50 an hour in January, Utah's will remain at $7.25. It's just disheartening because when I look for jobs it seems like they all pay less than what they do in Oregon and I think that the whole, "the cost of living is cheaper" thing is bullshit. I'm sorry but shit is the same price there AND I have to pay sales tax. Utah blows, over and out.
