"Raising the wage will simply reduce the number of jobs available. "That has been proven false many times. The service economy's expansion over the past 30 years and its dominance over manufacturing and agriculture has not beern affected by increases in the minimum wage. The notion you present is sheer nonsense. "Minimum wage increases do nothing to address poverty since most of those earning it are not poor" False statement on both counts. A large proportion of people working minimum wage jobs are poor; still others are barely above the poverty line. Increasing their wages helps make a difference in their ability to eat. |
