[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 2930097, member: 8481"] It's the biggest cost. Pay the lettuce pickers more, the price of lettuce increases. Pay the McDonald's worker more, the price of a Big Mac goes up even higher than it went up because the price of produce went up. And no, we're not talking $30/hr, but if the minimum wage goes from $12 to $15, the extra money the minimum wage earner gets goes to buying the now higher cost of products. The companies can either eat the extra cost of labor or pass in on to the consumer. What do you think they have historically always done? [/QUOTE]
