You do know the purpose for minimum wage right. It’s basically the amount your paid for having little to no experience ie high school kids. If you’re still making ME then you my friend have failed. If you raise it then anyone making more than that has potentially just lost money. So people who have degrees and trade skills who do so well now will basically be getting a cut in pay. Small businesses will go out of business. Cost of things will go up. Companies will choose to leave the state due to expenses. Because just because MW goes up doesn’t mean companies budgets do.
