  1. Automation here we come! There are always jobs that require a low level of skill. When the minimum wage gets raised, those unskilled workers are the first to lose their jobs to outsourcing and automation. Unfortunately min wage increases also hurt the rest of the population as companies are forced to raise their prices on goods and services.

  2. Correct. The employers cant afford giving everyone a raise to 12. So they will raise the pricing. Every single customer will pay the salary increase. Govt thinks its doing a favor??? The extra dollar the employee is making is going to pay for another business’s employees extra dollar. Noone will benefit here. Govt gave them a dollar an hour which is 8 a day but raised the price of groceries cloth shoes etc.which is more that the raise!!! Stupid.
