Theres a fine line, i think 15 is flirting with it, 15 is a big jump, raising over 5 yr period might not be so hard hitting for businesses, business will hire less and force them to be creative, less full time, there's always a trade off 15 is forcing supply without demand so there is going to be a negative effect for some time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you hear of employers pulling their business out due to the excessive costs? No, because the market is there. These doom and gloom stories are for mental midgets. Now if you tried this in bumfuck, Kentucky then you would have the issue of the market not supporting the labor. Seattle is huge and it's a beautiful city, lots going on there.
