Re: NYC restaurants cutting staff hours as minimum wage hits $15

Posted by AlM on Thu Jan 17 15:25:45 2019, in response to Re: NYC restaurants cutting staff hours as minimum wage hits $15, posted by Spider-Pig on Thu Jan 17 15:00:44 2019.

Automation is happening anyway. Restaurant owners have enough trouble finding workers who can get themselves a reasonable place to live at the wages they pay, even when those wages are $15.

I would contend that the $15 wage is only a slight acceleration of what supply and demand is causing, perhaps occasionally cutting demand and occasionally getting somebody their $15 a few years earlier than they would be getting paid that anyway (or lose their job anyway even in the absence of the $15 minimum wage).
