Minimum wages

The law which decides that minimum wages should be paid, applies to only
those kinds of workers whom the government feel is in need of
protection. The government adds the kinds of work they do, whether it is
for example domestic work to a list. If more that one thousand workers
are doing such kind of work, then the government has to fix a minimum
wage for workers doing that type of work. Some times the government may
fix a minimum wage for work in which less than a thousand workers are
employed. They have the freedom to decide.
