Essay

In his essay, Mark Reiff says that,
In a just society, the solution to the problem of under and unemployment is not employing people for less than a just wage, it is growing the economy to a sufficient extent by moral means, whatever these may be, so that all those who are willing and able to work for a just wage can find the employment they desire.
In your essay, consider and explain: what understanding about the importance of work must Reiff have in order to make a claim like this one? Then, think about one challenge that could arise from thinking about work this way, especially in the context of the minimum wage debate. In other words, what is a problem that we might face if we took Reiff's beliefs about work, and used them to help us decide what to do about minimum wage? You may think that this problem has a solution, but use your essay to explore this problem.
