"You cannot live and support a family on $18,000 a year in the state of New York period,"...
You're not supposed to be able to support a family while working a fast food job.

College graduates are accepting $15 to $20 an hour jobs. This will have a ripple effect.
My main question is asked in the article: why does this only apply to fast food jobs? Is that legal

Nobody is going to open a fast food franchise in NY from now on...
To: ScottWalkerForPresident2016
Fast-food workers in New York state would see a super-sized raise under a plan to phase in a $15 minimum wage the first time a state has singled out a particular industry for such an increase.Bill of Attainder much?
Ah what the hell. The rest of the Constitution is shredded. Why not that part.
Hell, let's have them increase the minimum wage by actual individual. If we are gonna blow out the BoA, let's do it all RIGHT LIKE.

You could if you reduced the cost of living in new york through massive tax cuts, fewer government regulations, and smaller government. But thats just me.

But laws are so November 5, 2012.

these are kids or elderly looking for supplemental income...not folks raising a family.
Is this an attempt to shut down a food industry....per Michelle's bidding??
To: ScottWalkerForPresident2016
Fire up those factories that produce robots; lots of business coming your way in NY State.
Courtesy of Cuomo the Communist.
And as for the rest of the ‘something for nothing’ crowd, the unemployment line forms to the right...

Yes....of course, because it’s working out sooooo well in Seattle/Washington. Workers are requesting LESS hours, so they won’t make over the limit to continue to receive WELFARE benefits, businesses are charging a SURCHARGE to help pay the higher hourly rate, tips aren’t being left, due to higher prices.
Yes....double down on STUPID, NYC....you always seem to do just that.

In the People’s Republic of New York, with Comrade Cuomo at the helm, there are no laws that cannot be ignored for the ‘public good’.
Plus it will create jobs at the unemployment office.
