Cost to the customer will rise. Most of the previous wage increase have been passed onto the consumer and impact those on fixed income the most. Taxes will be raised to pay for employee benefits etc.

And what will the price of a loaf of bread be? Didn`t the last raise teach you anything. This really hurts people on fixed income. If you are worth it your boss will give you a raise.

Only if Social Security is given a good raise, because raising the minimum wage to $20.00 per hour would cause inflation big time. Then, people on Social Security wouldn’t be able to live on what little SS pays them.

It's leading to communism. Where everyone is equal and equally poor.
