You keep repeating the “average” red-herring.

Even if “most” jobs “already” start out at “$9 or $10”, the minimum wage increase will make them jump to the NEW “starting out” wage of $13 to $15.

Minimum wage sets the floor for every pay range, regardless of how many people actually earn at the minimum rate. It is $7 today, so those starting out might get $9. If it becomes $10 tomorrow, the starting out will demand $14. That is pure economics.

The globalist cheap labor express has turned the USA into a post industrial service economy. This push is to be expected. I am surprised the minimum wage is a low as it is now.

Sorry you are wrong...unless its a union contract..
you must have never run or owned a business...

no private business automatically increase his current employees wages to match the increase when minimum wage goes up...

Walmart just increased their minimum to 10.00

Nobody got a increase if they were above 10.00

How do I know this...my wife works for WM...
