At that time, Paul Volcker was the chairman of the Federal Reserve– which is like the bank of all banks – it sets monetary policies to help control the flow of money between banks. One of the ways it does that is by setting interest rates. When it comes to borrowing money an interest rate is what the bank charges you to take out a loan. The higher the interest rate, the more money you’ll pay the bank. So back in the late 70s when inflation was really high the Federal Reserve decided to raise interest rates a ton– up to 20%. The thinking was that inflation was really bad because there was too much money floating around, so raising interest rates makes it harder to access money.

So companies do less business, they lay off workers, people lose their jobs, spending goes down and unemployment increases. Since people are buying less– prices drop and inflation goes down. Economists also say that rising interest rates that much that quickly also sent a strong signal to businesses that the Fed wasn’t going to allow inflation to get out of control. If businesses think that inflation will keep going up, they’re likely to raise their prices in anticipation of keeping up with the higher cost of living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are some long-term ways to control inflation? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are a variety of long-term ways to control inflation in the future.

Green and renewable energy prices are more stable and aren’t dictated by the global oil market which can be very volatile. Other solutions include bringing back more manufacturing to the US to help alleviate some of the supply chain bottlenecks caused by covid shutdowns in factories abroad and reduced shipping schedules. Housing is also a contributor to inflation so adopting policies that allow for more affordable housing can help with inflation in the long run. Breaking up monopolies and mega-corporations could also help control inflation in the long run.

Over time, that can increase the cost of living, and low-wage workers might be back at square one where everything’s too expensive compared to how much money they’re making.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SELECTED SOURCES:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Primer on the Minimum Wage (UCLA) \u003ca href=\"https://www.anderson.ucla.edu/faculty-and-research/anderson-review/minimum-wage-primer-leamer\">https://www.anderson.ucla.edu/faculty-and-research/anderson-review/minimum-wage-primer-leamer \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The War Over the Minimum Wage (The Guardian) \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/apr/13/how-much-is-an-hour-worth-the-war-over-the-minimum-wage\">https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/apr/13/how-much-is-an-hour-worth-the-war-over-the-minimum-wage \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Effects of the Minimum Wage (Congressional Budget Office) \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbo.gov/system/files/2019-07/CBO-55410-MinimumWage2019.pdf\">https://www.cbo.gov/system/files/2019-07/CBO-55410-MinimumWage2019.pdf \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Real Wages Have Barely Budged in Decades (Pew Research Center) \u003ca href=\"https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/08/07/for-most-us-workers-real-wages-have-barely-budged-for-decades/\">https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/08/07/for-most-us-workers-real-wages-have-barely-budged-for-decades/ \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5 Facts About the Minimum Wage (Pew Research Center) \u003ca href=\"https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/01/04/5-facts-about-the-minimum-wage/\">https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/01/04/5-facts-about-the-minimum-wage/ \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Minimum Wage and Public Assistance (Economic Policy Institute) \u003ca href=\"https://www.epi.org/files/2015/balancing-paychecks-and-public-assistance.pdf\">https://www.epi.org/files/2015/balancing-paychecks-and-public-assistance.pdf \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Americans Are Seeing Highest Minimum Wage in History (New York Times) \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/24/upshot/why-america-may-already-have-its-highest-minimum-wage.html\">https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/24/upshot/why-america-may-already-have-its-highest-minimum-wage.html \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Raising the Minimum Wage Lowers Employment for Teens and Low-Skill Workers (PBS) \u003ca href=\"https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/column-minimum-wage-lowers-employment-teens-low-skill-workers\">https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/column-minimum-wage-lowers-employment-teens-low-skill-workers\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/education/532986/should-we-raise-the-federal-minimum-wage","authors":["10621"],"categories":["education_1"],"tags":["education_2852","education_3372","education_666","education_763","education_2889","education_2908"],"collections":["education_2813"],"featImg":"education_532989","label":"education_2813"},"education_14065":{"type":"posts","id":"education_14065","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"education","id":"14065","score":null,"sort":[1407511181000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"a-video-explaining-the-safety-net","title":"A Video Explaining the Safety Net","publishDate":1407511181,"format":"aside","headTitle":"A Video Explaining the Safety Net | KQED","labelTerm":{"site":"education"},"content":"\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_14066\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2014/07/Safet-net-photo.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14066\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2014/07/Safet-net-photo.jpg\" alt=\"Photo by Molly/flickr \" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2014/07/Safet-net-photo.jpg 640w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2014/07/Safet-net-photo-400x225.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Molly/flickr\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Presidential candidates argue back and forth about the value of the “safety net”, but what exactly is it?

In Oakland, 22 percent of kids live in neighborhoods where a large proportion of families live below the federal poverty line, says Ted Lempert, executive director of Oakland-based Children Now. In the city of Fresno, that number grows to more than 40 percent.” (from Annie E. Casey Foundation report)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Robert Reich, the economist, (talking about his new film, \u003cem>Inequality for All\u003c/em>, on PBS Newshour), “we know that 42 percent of poor kids born into poverty remain in poverty for their entire lifetimes, a higher percentage than even in Britain, where 30 percent of people born in poverty stay in poverty. And Britain’s is traditionally a rigid class society. We have less upward mobility than Britain; we have less upward mobility than any other advanced country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For most of the 1960s and 70s the minimum wage paid enough for a family of three to rise above the poverty line, about $18,000 today. This is not the case today. The minimum wage now stands at $7.25 per hour, resulting in below poverty earnings of approximately $15,000 for full-time employees. For tipped workers the minimum wage is even lower, and has been since 1991, at $2.13 per hour. So food industry workers (servers) in the United States are three times more likely than the general workforce to be paid sub-poverty wages and twice as likely to need food stamps. (see KQED Do Now’s \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/education/2013/09/06/making-fast-food-for-little-pay/\">Making Fast-Food for Little Pay\u003c/a>)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there is sick pay. More than 40 percent of workers in the private sector —including 81 percent of low-wage workers—do not receive sick pay or paid leave to care for a sick child or family member. Taking time off to deal with a personal or family illness would mean losing their job. The United States is one of the only high-income countries not to set a minimal standard for paid sick days, or to provide paid leave to care for a family member. For families in or near poverty, losing pay makes the struggle to provide the basics even harder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How should the US treat its needy? What would an anti-poverty agenda look like?

In Oakland, 22 percent of kids live in neighborhoods where a large proportion of families live below the federal poverty line, says Ted Lempert, executive director of Oakland-based Children Now. In the city of Fresno, that number grows to more than 40 percent.” (from Annie E. Casey Foundation report)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Robert Reich, the economist, (talking about his new film, \u003cem>Inequality for All\u003c/em>, on PBS Newshour), “we know that 42 percent of poor kids born into poverty remain in poverty for their entire lifetimes, a higher percentage than even in Britain, where 30 percent of people born in poverty stay in poverty. And Britain’s is traditionally a rigid class society. We have less upward mobility than Britain; we have less upward mobility than any other advanced country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For most of the 1960s and 70s the minimum wage paid enough for a family of three to rise above the poverty line, about $18,000 today. This is not the case today. The minimum wage now stands at $7.25 per hour, resulting in below poverty earnings of approximately $15,000 for full-time employees. For tipped workers the minimum wage is even lower, and has been since 1991, at $2.13 per hour. So food industry workers (servers) in the United States are three times more likely than the general workforce to be paid sub-poverty wages and twice as likely to need food stamps. (see KQED Do Now’s \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/education/2013/09/06/making-fast-food-for-little-pay/\">Making Fast-Food for Little Pay\u003c/a>)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there is sick pay. More than 40 percent of workers in the private sector —including 81 percent of low-wage workers—do not receive sick pay or paid leave to care for a sick child or family member. Taking time off to deal with a personal or family illness would mean losing their job. The United States is one of the only high-income countries not to set a minimal standard for paid sick days, or to provide paid leave to care for a family member. For families in or near poverty, losing pay makes the struggle to provide the basics even harder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How should the US treat its needy? What would an anti-poverty agenda look like?
