Well I can tell you, having been a manager responsible for three fast food restaurants of a major national chain from the mid seventies to 2000, that there is a definite correlation between minimum wage increases and unemployment, and it became greater as the years went by.

Except the data(facts) do not support that clam. DID YOU LOOK AT THE DATA?

Well I don't know about any clams and really don't care about the 'DATA', since when aren't numbers skewed to support a pre conceived outcome?

See this is what is wrong with the people pushing the living wage increase, the vast majority have no actual experience in running a business.

What lunacy even makes a social engineer, because that's what these asses are, believe that an unskilled position should carry the same wage as skilled trade apprentices? They just can't wait for the domino effect of wage and price increases that will give the socialists/democrats just what they want to come in and have the government(they are sure by this time they will have power)come in and set wage and price controls to 'save' us. Anyone old enough to remember JIMMMMUUUUUUUH and be employed during his nightmare knows how well that worked!

Here's the whole problem in a nutshell, minimum wage jobs were never supposed to be long term employment jobs, they were for the most part jobs to train people entering the workforce for the first time and for supplemental income.

It was really only after so many unskilled illiterate workers flooded us from south of the border that the cry arose from liberals that these 'poor honest workers' couldn't raise a family on minimum wage..........NO SHIT? That's exactly why minimum wage jobs are a stepping stone to , experience, and education.

Anyone that believes this claptrap report that there is no correlation between the minimum wage and unemployment is totally blind to the reality of evidence everywhere that the $15 minimum wage has been implemented. That's the differences between the data someone assembled and reality.
