[QUOTE="brett636, post: 957284, member: 249"] I find it interesting how those who support minimum wage increases ignore the fact that minimum wage laws increase unemployment, especially for low skilled workers. First off all increasing the minimum wage does is squeeze the employer to the point where he/she may not be able to afford to keep as many employees at the wages the government sets. Secondly even if they can afford to keep them they are going to expect higher quality workers in exchange for a higher wage thus relegating low skilled workers who otherwise might be employed to the unemployment office. Lets not also allow the fact that this is an election year and my bet is the timing of this proposal wasn't really to help out the poor workers who make minimum wage, but to allow the politicians, mainly democrats, to buy votes using the money of private businesses.
