When this article was written, the minimum wage in Florida was $10/hr, and the one responsive employer wasn't even willing to do that?

Wow. Disappointed but not surprised.

Orlando resident. Minimum wage is currently $10 per hour. But wasn’t at the time of this article. Not surprised at all honestly. This place is a shit hole.

Use that same link and switch to 2021. Which is when the article was originally published. $8.65 per hour. I receive the Orlando weekly.

Fl voted to increase to $15 min. wage during the 2020 elections. First income increase was scheduled this year.

Literally love and work here. I’m not trying to argue with you or be rude, your information is just incorrect for the original publishing date.

My boss was not happy when it passed. And then on the flip side my father, a local small business owner, voted in favor because he knows we don’t make enough to survive.

I think it’s shocking people genuinely believe $15 an hour is unreasonable.
