So there are a few States that already pay above the Gov't standard minimum wage. With the fight going on to raise the minimum wage to over $10.00 to maybe even $15.00 per hour, what will the impact of any raise be to the local economy? Just wondering if anyone has been following this and what the thoughts are out there. Without getting political of course. Keep it to the local economy.
I can imagine that people will be a whole lot more selective about the people they hire, cut backs, increased payroll taxes etc. Add Obamacare into the mix and yikes!
