I'm interested in knowing what business you operate that causes you to think that a 29% increase in payroll over 5 years isn't a negative factor in job creation.
Factor in that the minimum wage is 26% lower in 2004 than it was in 1979 and its not all that big a hit is it? BTW what kind of business do you operate where *everyone* makes minimum wage because that the kind of business that would see a 1:1 hit..
