1) Employees themselves can decide by deciding whether to take a job at a certain salary.
2) The employers can decided by deciding how much they will offer for a job.
3) Government places controls on 1 and 2 so that employers, who have the majority of the power in this negotiation, cannot screw employees by collectively offering low wages.

It's up to the owner of the business. He is influenced by the surrounding economic standing of the area, in which the business is operated. It's also influenced by the government and the minimum wage laws. Some businesses are dictated to by the local unions. But it can be controlled by the employees, if they decide not to work for the wages that are offered.

Apparently crooked CEOs without integrity nor character.
They say a free market. This is not true. Prior to government regulations, child labor and indentured servitude were the ear marks of a free market. Greedy Corporations and mob infested unions are not simply, naturally good people who want what is best for everyone. Federal regulations and the RICO act keep them in line.

It isn't up to any one particular person. The market decides what certain jobs are paid.
Working the same job I have now in Arizona or rural Louisiana wouldn't pay as much, but this job in downtown Manhattan or Los Angeles would pay more.

The work force....that is why so many people are angry about illegal immigration. They are driving down the wages of US citizens.
The more people that you have willing to work in a particular field, the less they can pay.
The fewer people in the job market for a particular job, the more it will pay.

Our government. You know, the same people who determine how much of YOUR wages they need to take.
The same people who give themselves raises every year whether our Country as a whole can afford it or not.
The same people who have BETTER pensions and health care plans than anyone else in the world. Our Government.
Who also happen to be the same people who CAN'T come up with any of the aforementioned plans for their own citizens. If they did, how could they make empty promises during campaigns in order to win your vote?

The law of supply and demand, tempered by government regulations (such as minumum wage and Fair Labor Standards Acts).

whoever, has the money that will be paying that employee.
if i own my own business, its up to me to decide how much the employees are worth according to their job. unless I have someone do that for me
the employee has the decision to take that job or not based on the salary/wage presented.

It should be up to the employer and employee...what someone is willing to pay for certain skills and what someone is willing to sell certain skills for...the free market leaves this in the hands of the people who pay and get paid...it is just.
