now out here in GA you can live off of 10 hour a lil tight but can make it . and 8 dollar an hour increase in minimum wage will help out people . and for the percon who said it wont be noticeable, buddy are you wrong . when i first started working back in cali @6.25 hr i got a $2 increase after been gired full time. and boy was it noticeable
2 things will happen, some minimum wage earners will lose their jobs because the manager can no longer afford to keep everyone on payroll or prices will inflate to offset the higher wages which puts you back where you started because now $8.00 an hour has the same buying power that $6.00 an hour once had. This exact subject is why you have to pay almost $8 for a happy meal where I grew up after they raised the minimum wage $2.
