Bless his heart.

His JOB BLOCK Program is working as intended.

Aren’t we so fortunate that we have people like him, Harry Reid, Chuck U. Schumer, Mitch McConnell, John Wayne McCornyn, John Boehner, Eric Cantor, et all, in positions of power?

May be fine for large companies, how about the small mom and pop outfits? They are, for the most part, already making minimum profit.

As an employer I have started people at minimum wage. The best case received a raise after one day, others at the 90 day mark, There are some that would and did stay at minimum wage as long as they worked for me.

Employers don’t owe employees squat.

The only reason to be in business is profit and never to give someone a job!

“In recent years there have been important developments in the academic literature on the effect of increases in the minimum wage...”

Well then, the argument is settled./sarc

Because as business owners we have money to burn, right?

I mean we should take business advice from a guy who never even held a job let alone ran a business.

He's never run so much as a hot dog cart but he's going to tell every employer in America how to do their job?

As soon as the minimum wage goes up so does the cost of living by the same percentage. So, when the minimum wage went from 1.35 to 1.50 (back in my day), 1.50 became the new 1.35. Same with today’s minimum wage, it is the new 1.35 and any raise would only become the newer version of 1.35.
