Less than 3% of workers make minimum wage now tell me what businesses do you think pay only minimum wage?
Is it the multinational conglomerate fortune 100? No
Is it big domestic business? No
Is it the small businessman who barely makes enough to keep his doors open and actually pays some workers more than minimum wage but not the proposed minimum wage who will feel the pain most? Yes.
Then he needs to change his business model and practices so that he can run a business well enough to make a profit AND pay his employees a decent wage.
And what if the market for his area of business does not support the higher prices he would have to charge in order to pay the extra wages?
