Weekly Story Idea 8

Why is minimum wage still 7.50? It is hard for college students to have a job and be a full time student, they should at least be making 9.00 an hour to support themselves. This would add a little less stress to students who have this situation

Axel- College students should receive 9.00 an hour to help support themselves through their college career.

The Riders- students, parents, managers( to help explain why minimum wage is any lower than 9.00).

The Spokes- I would show different clips of students working at local super markets, the library, student book stores and all the possible jobs students may have on campus. as we are getting students working, we will ask them if they do not mind sharing their hourly wages and how they feel about it.

The Rim- The story is very relatable because many students do not make more than 7.50 an hour and that is not a lot of money to live off of. A lot of students do not know what they should be making hourly and take the first job they can get. I would like to bring attention to many student when it comes to them working.

The Beginning- Start off by asking students that have jobs how much they make an hour. get their opinion on how they feel about what they make. Then get clips of students working and going to class and also studying int he library. it is important to show the audience how hard students work.

The Middle- Next, talk to managers about how and why they pay students the way the do. get a one on one interview to understand the way a business will run. also get the opinion of a student who gets paid a good hourly wage.

The End- talk to the parents and get their opinion on how they feel about their kids hourly wage. In the end, try to get an answer about if the managers will raise students wages.
