Do you have any evidence to support this?



Do you have any to contradict it? Its common sense to me. What's the minimum now? I'm not sure so for the sake of easy math im going with 7 an hour. If I employ 10 people all of whom work 40 hours a week. That is 2,800 a week before taxes. At 9 an hour each is 3600. I can't afford more then 2800 a week, so that's 2 employees gone. Or, I was planning on hiring 2 new people before but that money is now spent on the higher minimum.

I don't have evidence, im on a phone, I just have common sense.

STUBS!
