That number will quickly shrink IF the minimum wage is raised up so high. A lot of incentive will be stripped as guys who already worked part of the way up the ladder will suddenly be reduced to making the same wage as the pimple faced kid who just got hired yesterday.
Tony said a few posts back that living on $15 an hour would be hard to do. WHAT?
If you're a single guy...$15 an hour is damn good money. If you're a single girl it's good. If you are part of a couple, you're other half has a job too.
The thought process on this is astounding to me. Especially since our industry CAN'T raise our prices because people get everything for free.
So as I watch the prices of everything going up...I can't raise my prices to match.
And now you want to raise the minimum wage, which will further speed up inflationary prices?
Our country's "leaders" need to be creating a business FRIENDLY environment. Not forcing new costs down their throat (obamacare, minimum wage hikes, etc.)
