This is going to have a big impact on the businesses in American Samoa..

The economy will suffer, as Star-Kist will just shut the American Samoa plant down and relocated to Samoa (85 miles West) and just can the fish there or in Ecuador..

And finally, FINALLY, everybody will see what conservatives have known all along. A minimum wage COSTS JOBS.

The voters in Ohio and other States have approved Min. Wage increases and they are already seeing the results ... JOB LOSSES ... Companies moving opperations to other States etc!!!

What They Failed To Understand Is That Wage Increases Are Not Limited to Entry Level Minimum Wage Workers

In most labor markets an increase in the entry-level wage leads to wage increases in other job classifications in order to maintain relative pay relationships.
