Business owners are already planning on how many employees they must dump like yesterday's garbage to be able to continue to meet there payroll, and for those who are able to keep the same number of employees, they must raise their prices to cover their increased payroll, so you and I will be forced to pay for these new mandated pay increase.; February 5, 2012 at 12:37 PM

So do studies at major universities, which have found that for every 10 percent increase in the minimum wage, there's a significant decline in teen employment, from 3 to 9 percent.

The hike proposed by Democratic lawmakers would raise the $8.25 hourly pay to $9 in July (making it the second highest in the nation) and $9.75 next year. Thereafter the hike would be tied to the rate of inflation.; February 5, 2012 at 1:37 PM

First many employers must reduce existing staff to keep their total payroll at the same level it was before the raise, and second, employers avoid expanding with new employees because of the added expense.; February 5, 2012 at 3:13 PM
