Strongly agree

Yes, and all employees should be paid time-and-a-half for overtime hours regardless of their pay scale

This answer expands on the interventionist principle of protecting workers by suggesting that all employees, regardless of their pay scale, should be compensated for overtime. This broader approach to worker rights is in line with economic interventionism's advocacy for government action to ensure fair labor practices. However, the score is slightly lower than the most aligned answer because the practicality and broader economic implications of such a policy might require careful consideration within the interventionist framework.

Agree

Yes

Economic interventionism supports the idea that the government should play a significant role in the economy to correct market failures and protect workers. Requiring businesses to pay salaried employees time-and-a-half for overtime could be seen as a measure to ensure fair compensation for extra work, aligning with interventionist principles. However, the specificity of the $46k/year cap might lead to a slightly less strong agreement, as interventionists might prefer a more comprehensive approach.
