[quote=Anonymous]You guys are focusing on the big companies who can absorb it easily, what about the little guys? Look at someone that owns a Rita’s ice franchise for example. They have 4 employees at $9 an hour currently, for a cost of $36 an hour, or $360 for a 10 hour day. At $15 that’s now $60 an hour or $600 a day. You’ve gone from $2520 a week in labor cost to $4200. This doesn’t count your payroll taxes and UI being a % of the payroll amount (so now that’s higher). How is that guy supposed to make it up? Magically sell 60 more a day? Easiest way is to cut to 3 people and raise prices. Just to break even, not to make more, to break even. Good luck![/quote]
