[quote=Anonymous]There are always so many carve outs to these requirements. Also the incraases are usually phased in over multiple years. I don’t know whether $25 is the right number or not but some of these posters act like any form of minim wage is offensive. They can go back to the 1920s. One thing that I think is hard about higher minimum wages is that it often doesn’t recognize the value of other benefits. So getting $20 an hour with full health benefits, paid leave, life insurance and a pension is better than &25 with none of that. Sometimes these laws also have carve outs for employees represented by a union, which presumably has some economic power to make rational decisions about trade offs between wages and other benefits.
