RE: A $2.00 a hour maximum wage law would produce lots of new jobs.
Switzerland has NO minimum wage law.
Their latest unemployment rate is 3.5%.
Its per capita income is above $59,000
Singapore has NO minimum wage too. Their latest unemployment rate is 1.9%. The Gross Domestic Product per capita in Singapore was last recorded at 36897.87 US dollars in 2013.
Per capita income in Switzerland is pushed higher due to their tax rates.
Personal income tax is 40%. Social security is 6.25%. Sales tax is 8%.
all of those countries have EXTREMELY strict border control and immigration policies.
