Train wreck on 06 February 2013
I do not think that this will go over well with many industries that employ sub $10.00/h employees, especially with the new spate of taxes from the healthcare law that is yet to come down (on top of the other numerous tax burdens such as SOX), and even if the raise went through, the average minimum wage worker would see that increase eaten up by higher taxes and higher inflation for everything important: food, fuel, rent etc.
