Propaganda, how many Federal Contractors are making less than $10.10 right now? My guess next to know one. Will anyone have the guts to call the Dictator on this one?

I just looked up the SCA determinations for DC.

Waiters, most laundry workers would be impacted in DC.

However, looking this up for lower cost area (I selected Houston County, Georgia -- Robins AFB), then you have a more extensive list: janitors/maids, nursing assistant, all laundry people (including seamstresses), childcare attendants, cashiers, carnival workers, school crossing guards, etc.

So if you are an airman at Robins AFB, you can expect your prices to increase when you take a uniform to be laundered. You can expect the cost of hotels to go up because hotels that have contracts with Robins AFB lodging will have to give their people a raise. You can expect Tricare costs to rise, because medical places that contract with the government will have to give their folks a raise, and so on.

No, it won't impact most of us, but it will impact the lower-end contracts a whole bunch.

You’ll see more automation, more subcontracting and fewer jobs. Mr. Market will not be denied.
