@TanDL it is even more than that.
It is not *just* an increase in the minimum wage -it is an entire restructuring of the wage scale.
People making $15 currently are going to demand $20, and so on all the way up the ladder.
We need to get unemployment under control before we start worrying about a rate that impacts less than 3% of the current workforce. A workforce that is NOT STATIC, by the way.
