Many people think minimum wage lowers their wage if they make near the proposed increase.

They aren’t necessarily wrong.

Everything goes up in price more than the minimum wage increase every time it happens because there are no laws to stop price increases like that.

Rent goes up. Any service jobs cost most. Restaurants.

So people already barely making more than minimum loose.

I’m all for minimum wage being a living wage. But it will never be a living wage unless price increases are controlled with min wage increase rollouts.

With hefty fines for violations.

Otherwise min wage increases is pure theatre at best and actually lowers income at worst
