Agreed. Most likely this is the first step in bring the minimum wage up further, but at levels that initially seem "ok" and will not cause an uproar. The uproar will come as prices increase to cover these additional costs. What do you think the price of a hamburger at McDonald's will be if/when they pay $15.00 per hour? Talk about providing an incentive to reduce manual labor positions. Who remembers eating at an Automat restaurant? Talk about being ahead of their time.....
