Dems grasping at straws... pretty obvious. i'm all for this level of compensation if it is created through market forces and not political forces.
have to love the dem playbook - $15/hr minimum wage / healthcare for all / open borders / etc. that's a great plan (sarc.) they must not have read the estimated projected $400 TRILLION shortfall in global pensions and nearly 100 TRILLION shortfall in promised liabilities here in the US.
NUMBERS and STATISTICS have never been the strong point of the progressive / liberal.
I list my location, so here is Phoenix, AZ. And most prices have stayed the same. Domino's still charges the same for their 2 items for $5.99 each menu, Little Caesars is still charging the exact same for their pizza $5 large, $8 deep dish. At McDonalds the cost of the bacon egg and cheese biscuit meal with a small orange juice only went up by 0.11, or a 2% increase. So who is the liar?
The question I have. If we increase the minimum wage for unskilled entry level employees to $15 an hour, what do we do about the semi skilled or skilled employees currently earning $15 an hour? Do we increase their pay to the same scale? And what of those technical jobs currently earning $20+ an hour? Do we further increase their pay as well? Seems to me the cost of living will skyrocket. We already struggle to compete on a global market.
Then again the dems never seem to be all that concerned about how they screw the middle class. The ACA is proof positive of that.
I once earned a little more than MW at a time when MW went up. IOW, MW was increased to the wage I was earning. Did my wage go up? Nope.
Again, min wage just went up 24% here. No hours are getting cut, and unemployment is down since Jan
How much is the minimum wage in Arizona? I don't necessarily think the prices will go up as much, as employees will eventually get their hours cut. ....You DO see restaurants are going to self ordering tablets, yes? What do you think that is a result of?

Currently $10/hr. Will be $11/hr in Jan and $12/hr in Jan 2020. Both of my fiance's part time jobs pay min and she hasn't lost any hours
