[QUOTE="donner, post: 4136652, member: 277"] true, though it depends on if we are talking raising the minimum wage vs wages set by market conditions. Clearly large companies might be able to absorb wage hikes better than the mom and pops, but then again a good mom and pop might also offer better things for workers than a large corporation could. Our local independent bookstore probably isn't raking it in like barnes and nobles might be, but i know they are good at supporting an employee when a kid is home sick from school. I wasn't saying that all wages should rise regardless, just that it's also dependent on a company to be willing to pay for quality workers. If people aren't showing up as required for $15/hr then maybe it's because the wage isn't competitive to get reliable help. We can complain about it being a worker problem (which is is, in part) but it could also be a sign of the market or an issue with the company, etc. It's almost like economics deserves it's own field of study or something...
