The Obama administration&#8217;s initiative to raise the number of hours Americans must work in order to be eligible for overtime pay may lead to an increase in low-paid workers entering the workforce. That&#8217;s according to a Wall Street Journal article which took a look at the potential impact of the initiative. The proposal would make about 4.6 million more American workers eligible for overtime and raise the salary cap nearly double to $50,400 for salaried employees. &#8220;It&#8217;s going to be a balance between how many inexperienced, entry-level workers you can bring in versus the need to maintain a high level of guest service,&#8221;<a href="http://www.mooyahfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-wall-street-journal-overtime-rules-seen-boosting-low-wage-hiring-2177" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> MOOYAH Burgers, Fries &amp; Shakes</a> COO <a href="http://mooyah.1851franchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-wall-street-journal-overtime-rules-seen-boosting-low-wage-hiring-2177" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Michael Mabry</a> told the Wall Street Journal, adding that the rule change would alter their current structure of operating with a smaller number of more experienced employees.
