It's really kind of baffling that some people seem to think that businesses are currently hiring more people than they actually need because the low minimum wage allows them to hand out some spare jobs as an act of charity. No, businesses hire however many people they need. There's sometimes room to streamline work flow such that fewer workers are needed, and that effort may become more worthwhile if minimum wage is raised (resulting in some layoffs), but the vast majority of minimum wage jobs will continue to exist regardless of the minimum wage.I have worked many jobs that understaffed because they didn't want to pay for the whole staff each shift, im pretty sure it wasn't minimum wage related, but they'll definitely get rid of people they need to save a buck That being said I think minimum wage should definitely go up with inflation, set it at 11 (equivalent to the highest minimum wage back in the 70s) and keep it going up with inflation --- Muscles Chicago Bears | Chicago Blackhawks | Chicago Bulls | Chicago Cubs | NIU Huskies ...
