Increasing Minimum Wage Helps Working Families
What a crock, these “journalists” are useful idiots.
If raising the minimum wager a couple of bucks creates jobs, imaging how many jobs would be created if they raised it to a thousand?!
More job losses.
Before or after taxes? Oh, and there's that mandatory Commiecare™ premium that's gonna hit - for every single person in the working family.

Obamaville residents will be pleased to hear this.

a) decrease the number of employees until the number of employees times the amount of increase equals the amount of money I have to pay employees
b) reduce any benefits in order to increase the amount of money needed to cover the new mandate
c) increase the price of the goods or services and hope that customers don't become former customers
d) find a way to increase productivity so that the increased sale of goods or services is sufficient to cover the mandate and hope that employees won't say, "Hey, we're working harder so you should pay us more and if you don't we'll slow down our output or quit."
e) reduce my already extremely thin profit margin
f) go out of business
g) move to another state.
“(helps working families)”
Horsecrap it does.
There should be NO minimum wage laws.
I’d wager all 8 of those states are libtard controlled... /s =.=
Many people do not quite understand what this minimum wage thing is all about... I am not union, but deal with and have to supervise union people... here it is... the majority of union contracts have their wages tied into the minimum wage... if the minumum wage goes up, they get an automatic wage increase... period.... end of discussion
Why did you add the parenthetical statement that it helps working families? It doesn’t, unless they are the lucky ones who don’t lose their jobs to more experienced workers who are worth the extra pay.
For all conservative initiatives, the Times and similar outlets always insert a “critics charged” paragraph in there to let you know that it’s “controversial”. For lefty/Democrat inititatives like this one, there’s never a “critics charged” paragraph.
It “helps” to increase unemployment.
Horse hockey.
Price controls (which is the class of law to which the minimum wage belongs) ALWAYS distort the market, and NEVER have good long-term ramifications. You always get more of what the government subsidizes (sloth) and less of what it penalizes (business hiring).
