Fight For $15

by | Jun 23, 2016 | News

f-4-15The Fight for $15 momentum continues as more municipalities consider enacting an increased  minimum wage. Washington, D.C. probably comes as no surprise, and Cleveland is now considering the measure. In New York, similar to the Obamacare health policy penalty, activists are even pushing for a law that would create a penalty for companies that do not pay a “living wage.” As is often the case with issues charged by emotion, facts don’t appear relevant to proponents of the movement, or unfortunately even to those public officials making the decisions to implement such a policy. The majority of economists who have weighed in on the issue are concerned that repercussions of a higher minimum wage will be injurious to both large corporations and young workers.
