Efficiency and retention gains notwithstanding, it seems unlikely that doubling payroll costs would be a get gain at a low-skill job.

I am glad you think $1,600 a year is paltry.
What planet do you live on. |

The one where you have a million dollars in the bank.I would imagine someone that well if would be on paying for their own health insurance.

I'm starting 3 more. Two will launch next month. One has already generated $17k in income. |

Saying it will only effect those at the bottom of the pay scale is not exactly true.
A minimum wage increase isn't just for those starting out like some want you to believe. One big problem with minimum wage increases that you never hear much about and has an effect on small business like mine that only work 15 to 20 employees is: It forces the company to raise those that are already making more than minimum wage too. For example, you have an employee that's been working for a year or more and has earned a small raise and then the minimum wage goes up. Now in walks a new person and starts out earning what it took others a year or more to earn. Those employers trying to do the right thing will always see a major payroll increase for certain. Tom

Those who keep pointing out that their health insurance costs are going up generally neglect to mention that the insurance exchanges under the ACA, which will result in lowered costs and increased availability, don't even open until next year.
Just a minor detail that occasionally needs to be pointed out. |

You agree, don't you, that the projections of reduced rates apply only AFTER the exchanges are open for business? So current increases being experienced by some aren't really relevant. Because of course insurance companies are going to try to cash in before the changes take place.
I think that the reason the right is so intent on trying to defund the ACA as quickly as possible is because they know that once the benefits fully kick in the public is actually going to like it. |
