Words: 305 - Pages: 2.... Depression. The main question is why the
democratic administration and FDR felt these programs would work, and why

with little the government can do to limit the use of cars, the production of
necessary coal-fired power plants and other such human resources, the topic just

$4.25 per hour as of July 1996. The increase has been less than the rate of
inflation during this period.
The vast majority of the 22,000 members of the American Economic
Association agree that increasing the minimum wage will increase unemployment
among young, unskilled workers. This 35% hike in the minimum wage paid by the
business will be one of the biggest increases in California history. And, it
will hit just when the state is recovering from a long recession. Approximately
2 million of California's nearly 13 million workers earn less than $5.75 per

not just employees.
Improving the quality of work life is one of the most important
trends in personnel management in the 1980's. More and more personnel
managers are reporting to the president of an organization rather than a
