Crain's Chicago Business on $13 an hour, times 40, times 52 weeks= $27,040. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel wants to make it illegal to pay and work for less than $27,040 a year ( we didn't include FICA taxes or Illinois Unemployment Compensation which makes the real number higher). Because Rahm Emanuel has declared war on high school drop outs without work experience: he'd rather they be disemployed and on welfare.
