[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Possibly stupid question: why do they make the distinction between minimum wage for "fast-food" and minimum wage for "other low-skill/high turnover" jobs? Why is fast food worth more than, say, retail or factory work? In any case, the result will be predictable: fewer fast-food jobs (leaving many former employees worse off), more automation, fewer fast-food restaurants, and higher prices (because not all work can be automated). [/quote] Not stupid as I have the same question! Why did they single out one sector--food service--and then one specific sub-sector within that sector--fast food? Note that restaurants were not included in this legislation. Is this some subsector by subsector strategy? First health care workers, then fast food workers, then ????[/quote]
