If you work for a man, in heavens name work for him! If he pays you wages that supply you your bread and butter, work for him speak well of him, think well of him, stand by him and stand by the institution he represents. I think if I worked for a man I would work for him. I would not work for him a part of the time, and the rest of the time work against him. I would give an undivided service or none. If put to the pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness. – Elbert HubbardRate it:
It is not the employer who pays the wages. Employers only handle the money. It is the customer who pays the wages. – Henry FordRate it:
No business which depends for its existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level--I mean the wages of decent living. – Franklin Delano RooseveltRate it:

Acero Schools management is desperate, and our pressure is working. There is nothing illegal about our strike over wages, benefits, class size and other conditions that are mandatory subjects of bargaining under the federal labor law that governs this contract. – President Jesse SharkeyRate it:
Adding jobs is the last thing on my mind. The steep increase in wages is a real financial strain for us. – Lee Jae-kwangRate it:
After years of stagnant wage growth, we finally saw the increase we were looking for in last month’s numbers. But that is only one month of data and these numbers can be volatile. because we see that demand continuing to grow, we expect wages to increase as well. – Tara SinclairRate it:
All of that may be fantasy to the ruling class and the big money interests in this country. I don't think that's fantasy to the working people in this country who have worked longer hours for lower wages, who are tired of establishment politics and establishment economics, every proposal that we have brought forward, we've paid for ... Maybe the drug companies don't like it and the insurance companies don't like it. I think the American people do like it. – Bernie SandersRate it:
Almost any economist will tell you that we should treat all income equally, if you have $50,000 of income, it doesn't matter if it is from a pension, dividends or wages - tax law generally doesn't make too many distinctions. – Don BoydRate it:
America's abundance was created not by public sacrifices to the common good, but by the productive genius of free men who pursued their own personal interests and the making of their own private fortunes. They did not starve the people to pay for America's industrialization. They gave the people better jobs, higher wages and cheaper goods with every new machine they invented, with every scientific discovery or technological advance -- and thus the whole country was moving forward and profiting, not suffering, every step of the way. – Ayn RandRate it:
An employee working 34 hours per week at $10 per hour still earns less than $18,000 per year and cannot meet her family's basic needs on Wal-Mart's wages alone, even in states with low costs of living. – Christine OwensRate it:
Any trade deal has to produce jobs and raise wages and increase prosperity and protect our security. – Hillary ClintonRate it:
AOC has barely been in elected office and she is already acting like a typical Washington politician by attacking an organization because she cant defend her position. AOC cost New Yorkers 25,000 jobs and $ 4 billion in annual wages. – Alfredo OrtizRate it:
As an economist watching the economy, we're somewhat surprised that wages pressures have been so muted to this point, we do expect an acceleration and in fact think it necessary to continue the recovery. – Jim DiffleyRate it:
As the labor market moves closer to full employment ... we are likely to see firms increase wages. We have already started to see some of that. – Sam BullardRate it:
At a time when nearly 14% of Americans do not have a full-time job and when the middle class is working longer hours for lower wages, I oppose a massive increase in temporary guest worker programs that will allow large corporations to import hundreds of thousands of blue-collar and white-collar workers from overseas. – Bernie SandersRate it:
At a time when the middle class is shrinking, poverty is increasing and millions of Americans are working longer hours for lower wages it makes no sense to me to have an immigration bill which, over a period of years, would bring millions of 'guest workers' into this country who are prepared to work for lower wages than American workers, we need to increase wages in this country, not lower them. – Bernie SandersRate it:
At the moment, we have 20-plus people in the factory, working 24 hours. We're offering them quadruple their wages per day, we aim to ramp up output on Jan. 27 and be at full capacity on Feb. 1, when we'd have nearly 200 workers. – Cao JunRate it:
