[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 4451385, member: 23516"] It depends on the labor market. Where I live, you could raise the minimum wage by a couple of bucks and it wouldn't cause that much of a problem for most entry-level employers because they're already paying that much (or more) and it's a ridiculously competitive labor market. Some employers would be screwed because they wouldn't be able to maintain their current staffing at the new rate without cutting hours or getting rid of someone or raising prices. A few towns over, that kind of increase would cause problems because the jobs are few and far between and most of them are low-skill dead end jobs. Me, if I'm paying minimum wage and it goes up, I cut hours. If I have to, I get rid of an employee and hire someone else who's worth is closer to the new wage. [/QUOTE]
