  • Avoidance of exceeding allowable income by a person receiving certain benefits, such as unemployment, disability, or public assistance

  • The lack of minimum wage opens up many employment opportunities under the table, thus decreasing academic qualification, making it easier for the employee to get those jobs.

Famous quotes containing the word reasons:

    Your reasons at dinner have been sharp and sententious, pleasant without scurrility, witty without affection, audacious without impudency, learned without opinion, and strange without heresy.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    One who is publicly honest about himself ends up by priding himself somewhat on this honesty: for he knows only too well why he is honest—for the same reasons another person prefers illusion and dissimulation.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Science is the knowledge of many, orderly and methodically
    digested and arranged, so as to become attainable by one. The
    knowledge of reasons and their conclusions constitutes abstract, that of causes and their effects, and of the laws of nature, natural science.
    John Frederick William Herschel (1792–1871)
