Minimum wage hikes have not had the "assumed" negative affects they said. Any short term pull backs will eventually even out as businesses will struggle to operate understaffed. Prices will adjust and life will go on. I deal with this everyday with labor, vendor, material and permit prices. Higher wages historically result in more economic activity but I'm sure you can provide links to the contrary. yep and the wage hike was for nothing . and 1 more time the poor you pretend to be fighting for are fucked again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It a known fact wages have been stagnate for a very long time. You increase your rent due to expenses, a worker could use the same thing.

All of the cities in the United States that raised minimum wage have been doing great, that's why all of those boo hoo butthurt beat offs who were bitching about it haven't said shit since. Or is it the mere fact that all those cities had pay rates almost to the point they raised it too because COL is so high? Hasn't worked great in Seattle. I know, I know WaPo is conservative so its biased. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/06/26/new-study-casts-doubt-on-whether-a-15-minimum-wage-really-helps-workers/?utm_term=.0e38844a3bc5 A ‘very credible’ new study on Seattle’s $15 minimum wage has bad news for liberals When Seattle officials voted three years ago to incrementally boost the city's minimum wage up to $15 an hour, they'd hoped to improve the lives of low-income workers. Yet according to a major new study that could force economists to reassess past research on the issue, the hike has had the opposite effect. The city is gradually increasing the hourly minimum to $15 over several years. Already, though, some employers have not been able to afford the increased minimums. They've cut their payrolls, putting off new hiring, reducing hours or letting their workers go, the study found. The costs to low-wage workers in Seattle outweighed the benefits by a ratio of three to one, according to the study, conducted by a group of economists at the University of Washington who were commissioned by the city. The study, published as a working paper Monday by the National Bureau of Economic Research, has not yet been peer reviewed. On the whole, the study estimates, the average low-wage worker in the city lost $125 a month because of the hike in the minimum. The paper's conclusions contradict years of research on the minimum wage. Many past studies, by contrast, have found that the benefits of increases for low-wage workers exceed the costs in terms of reduced employment -- often by a factor of four or five to one. "This strikes me as a study that is likely to influence people," said David Autor, an economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who was not involved in the research. He called the work "very credible" and "sufficiently compelling in its design and statistical power that it can change minds." Yet the study will not put an end to the dispute. Experts cautioned that the effects of the minimum wage may vary according to the industries dominant in the cities where they are implemented along with overall economic conditions in the country as a whole. And critics of the research pointed out what they saw as serious shortcomings. In particular, to avoid confusing establishments that were subject to the minimum with those that were not, the authors did not include large employers with locations both inside and outside of Seattle in their calculations. Skeptics argued that omission could explain the unusual results. Edited February 12, 2018 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
