oh give me a fucking break. I'm going to carry around a plastic bag of coins too brah. They get what, a 5% increase in pay, but get to work 30-40% less hours? Sign me up brah.
Yeah Prez, the best move for Seattle small businesses now is to hire a bunch of 20-25 hour/week employees, and stop offering health benefits so more people are pushed to the federal plan.
nah, man. The businesses will just absorb the cost, coupled along with customers willing giving larger tips to the business owners out of the goodness of their heart to offset the higher cost of doing business (without the owners raising prices at all). Money will be created out of thin air, passed along to people who carry coins and dollar bills in plastic sandwhich bags.
I don't get it. You will hire HS dropouts so they don't leave the job, but then you want to offer 20-25 hr/wk with no benefits. How many HS dropouts do you think will be reliable employees at 20-25 hrs week
I can see all the high school bros coming in and working for $15 an hour at all the McDonalds jobs, making dat money for booze, bitches and the best summer ever. Managers would likely hire bros they can relate to versus some random mexicans.
I can see a big uptick in under the table jobs involving illegal immigrants as a result of this. Same with lawn services, too.
According to the Economic Policy Institute, the minimum wage in the United States would have been $18.28 in 2013 if the minimum wage kept pace with labor productivity.[27] To adjust for increased rates of worker productivity in the United States, raising the minimum wage to $22 (or more) an hour has been presented. To be fair, an enormous amount of back pay is owed to most American workers over the last 40 years.
