I doubt these people are going to move from $10/hour to a fast food job at minimum wage.CMChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230361937701865420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169279.post-77400252813533197302007-04-27T12:25:00.000-06:002007-04-27T12:25:00.000-06:00-1 on Kim for grammatical errors and a poorly form...-1 on Kim for grammatical errors and a poorly formatted link. <BR/><BR/>I think Kim is probably right this time around. In general, I'm not in favor of a minimum wage at all, or even raising it because of the problems she outlines, but I'd have to say that if there is a time when we can get away with it that this is probably it.

I also think that if these businesses have to raise wages, either to meet the minimum wage requirement or to keep employees, they will in turn, increases prices.

Why do companies pay higher than the minimum wage? Because the labor supply market is such that they can’t find an adequate amount workers at low wages. Smead has to pay more than McDonalds because of several possible reasons, one you almost have to have Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08906425457011146831noreply@blogger.com
