[QUOTE="Yaba Daba Do, post: 3586065, member: 57161"] We have already seen this. This experiment is being tried in Seattle right now and it is going pretty much how you would think. They are gradually increasing the minimum wage to $15 over several years but there are already employers that haven't been able to afford it. They've cut their payrolls, put off new hiring, and reduced hours or let workers go. The costs to low wage workers have outweighed the benefits by a ratio of 3 to 1 according to a study conducted by a group of economists at the University of Washington who were commissioned by the city. On whole the study estimates, the average low wage worker in the city lost $125 a month because of the increase in the minimum wage. [/QUOTE]
