[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I[b]magine having to pay some teenager the equivalent of roughly $55k per year just to wash dishes or scrub toilets[/b]: https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/workers-labor-advocates-call-for-dc-to-raise-minimum-wage-to-25/4025867/ R.I.P. DC economy. No am I going to pay $100/entree for mediocre food or, $900/night for a garbage hotel simply because businesses have to cover out control labor costs. [/quote] Teenagers are not during these jobs. They are competing with people who can work all year, without regard to limited hour restrictions. Basically most of these jobs are occupied by adults taking care of a family. With that said, that is a ridiculously high minimum wage salary for so little skills, so the question becomes will salary automatically increase for the skilled labor. [/quote]
