[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not worried about teens. I’m worried about single adults trying to afford a one bedroom apartment on 40 hours a week, so they have time to go to MC or a training school. I’m worried about the young married couple with a baby trying to afford an apartment, daycare, diapers, and formula with both parents working only 40 hours a week. Those folks need $15/hour.[/quote]

Their hours are about to get cut drastically. From 40 to 20.[/quote] No, they won’t. Quit being Chicken Little. [/quote]

I don't think hours will be cut so much as positions eliminated especially in smaller stores. The higher wages attract better workers. Better workers mean less workers needed to do the same jobs.  Chains and larger stores will simply move to automated systems on their stores. The majority of people who couldn't make it before on minimum wage jobs are actually likely to be worse off because limited jobs in the market to begin with.[/quote]
