Typically, labor cost percentages average 20 to 35 percent of gross sales.

Appropriate percentages vary by industry, A service business might have an employee percentage of 50 percent or more, but a manufacturer will usually need to keep the figure under 30 percent.

There is never a direct relationship between labor costs and cost of goods sold

In the food SERVICE industry. But bread making is more in line with manufacturing.

The cost of manufacturing labor rarely exceeds 10%. If ever. Take cars, the rule of thumb is 30 man hours to build a car. 30 man hours for union auto labor ( worse case) is 8% per car.

That’s my point. Doubling the minimum wage from $7.25 in some states to $15 definitely won’t double the cost of goods sold

$15 / hr where?

Rural Mississippi as well as mid-town Manhattan?

Proposals from people that can't do math.

I will rephrase her statements:

You WILL pay a totally useless, Unskilled, Unable to read, write or do decent daily personal hygiene a wage of $15 an hour...’’

WE WILL DEMAND SUCH BY LAW

and if you go broke-—it is YOUR fault...

AND-—Most likely where she gets her hair done, each chair is a separate business person.

Right - where I go each hair dresser is an independent contractor; they pay for their chair/spot.
