    your pay will go up eventually, when the cost of milk, eggs, batteries etc all go up becuase they gotta pay everyone more, then the cost of living goes up

    it makes sense

    i mean if the stores have to pay their employees more, then they gotta make more somehow right?

    so the products prices rise

    Everyone is worried about the econ, so everyone saving their money instead of spending it and the government is taking to much of which limits spending, which in turn make inflation go up because of supply and demand...

    the new min wage will decrease the amount of jobs due to the fact companies don't want to lose money. They are just going to hire less amount people so they can still make their same profits.

    I disagree, because in turn they will still need people to run their stores and if a store is constantly understaffed I stop going there along with alot of other people like me. Now they might invest in more self serve registers as seen in wal-mart, kroger, etc. but I dont think they will end up hiring less people because they need those people turn a profit specailly if it is retail...

    plus if the people make more they send more and the store\econ gets better and better.

    This is pointless. If you can't make it in life at the current minimum wage, you won't make it with another few dollars an hour. The only thing that this is going to do is raise the prices of goods and services with little benefit to those actually who are actually working. Keep in mind that *they* will also have to use their "increase in pay" to cover the newly raised prices which will put them back at what they are currently at right now. This just won't be good.

Keep in mind that *they* will also have to use their "increase in pay" to cover the newly raised prices which will put them back at what they are currently at right now. This just won't be good.
    It just depends on what the stores do about their pricing cas I think if they just wait and not do anything to the prices as is they will find they are actually making more because their employees cas spend more speically in food stores and wal-mart type places. We will see cas it could go either way. It send everything down the shitter or help it out a lil.
