Correct. But should I expect the entry-level manager that's making $10 per hour to continue working for $10 when the minimum wage goes to $15?
Should I expect the Store Manager with 10 years of experience and a $40k salary to not ask for a raise when someone could walk in the door and earn $31k per year as a regular employee?
If you're a plumber that makes $16 per hour, would you not ask for a raise if minimum wage was raised to $15?
Do you understand that many unions have contracts in which their wages are tied into minimum wage?
Again, you keep assuming that a minimum wage increase that significant will have little to no impact on the entire economy. It shows how ignorant you are in such matters.
Quit while you're behind.
