What Seattle learned from having the highest minimum wage in the nation - VoxToday, Seattle’s wage is at $16 for large employers, and $15 for all other employers (unless they provide a certain level of medical benefits or employee tips, which allows them to knock it down to $12 an hour). It remains one of the highest in the country, and a useful case study as we head into a presidential election where a higher minimum wage has become the standard policy position for Democratic candidates.

DRUDGE REPORT 2020?
Boeing and health care are major players in snubs part of the woods, and whilst the $15 per hour min wage there is playing a good part in its economy,take away major players and what do you have massive lay offs.
This continued uncertainty has forced us to evaluate all of our options for reducing costs, and means we will likely have to make many difficult decisions in the days and weeks ahead that will involve reductions in the size of our workforce to align to expected lower levels of production when production resumes,” Gentile’s letter says.

You are clueless. Seattle is a tech city and that drives the economy here not health care and Boeing. Boeing is important to the economy but the local economy is not even close to dependent on it.
We have Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks, Google, etc etc the list goes on and on. The economy like San Francisco is booming and socialist policies are not making a shred of difference not to mention that almost all the people who work for those companies support progressives like Bernie and guess what chico?
They are a lot smarter than you...
You are just a fooking numpty.
Snub are you sure you live in Seattle?

well it was inevitable.....they're finally coming for bloomberg.
multiple articles on his past comments about women, teachers unions, african americans, etc...
this is a well organized campaign and it was entirely predictable.
it's tricky though....whoever ends up as the nominee is going to need a big piece of that 2 billion.
I see Trump already had a crack at him over the controversial NYC stop-and-frisk program and called him a "racist".
It's of course a program that the racist Trump has previously supported and defended so, you know, just the usual from the fucking moron.
That is just the sort of shit that Rush Limbaugh would trot out, and it's utter bollocks.
It's about time someone called their fucking bluff on it before they all do what Walmart does, which is effectively get the taxpayer to subsidise its workforce and this its enormous profits.
Which also said increasing the minimum wage would benefit 17 million workers. But don't let inconvenient facts get in the way.Originally Posted by Chico
Sounds like they have no doubt at all.
There is considerable uncertainty about the size of any option’s effects on employment and family income. There are two main reasons why. First, future wage growth under current law is uncertain. If wages grow faster than CBO projects, then wages in future years will be higher than CBO anticipates, and increases in the federal minimum wage would have smaller effects. If wages grow more slowly than CBO projects, the effects would be larger.
Second, there is considerable uncertainty about the responsiveness of employment to an increase in the minimum wage. If employment is more responsive than CBO expects, then increases in the minimum wage would lead to larger declines in employment. By contrast, if employment is less responsive than CBO expects, the declines would be smaller. Findings in the research literature about how changes in the federal minimum wage affect employment vary widely. Many studies have found little or no effect, but many others have found substantial reductions in employment.
Obvious indeed so why are you ignoring it and focusing on the 1.3 m and conjecture about sustainability and irrelevant union negotiations.Originally Posted by Chico
That's rhetorical as it's also pretty obvious.

As i said previously it will find also see companies leaving once again,to find cheaper labour overseas,as under the Trump admin companies have been returning, which will also see more unemployment again.
