genuine question, im trying to learn something. i do agree that higher wages are necessary for the current economic climate, and that raising the minimum should come with other, more in-demand jobs having their wages/salaries raised as well. however, would this worsen prices? obviously most companies could probably stomach the cost, but they would probably raise prices anyway to reclaim their original revenue stream. and then, since prices increased, a higher minimum wage would be necessary to survive in the new climate. what happens next?
