“Offering wages of $11 to $12.50 an hour with no health insurance…”

Story on CNN yesterday about crowds at National Parks. Showed a graphic where McDonalds in Moab, Utah was offering $18 an hour to get workers.

So it’s not because of the cost that they don’t pay decent wages, it’s that - THEY DON’T WANT TO!
