If minimum wage goes up to $9.50 ...

[ctherose]

Sounds like a vicious circle.

For the record, I'd gladly take a job for $9.50/hr. Know anyone who's hiring? Oh, and I can only work from 8:30-3:00 and need my summers off!

although it's somewhat less than what I'm making now...I'm with you Jenny...I'll accept less if I can work those hours and get summers off!

Lets face it, it is just another way to shift the burden to the small business once again.

Think about that!

Keep'em Cozy

Our prices will need to go up...our formulas will need to change...like food has gone up double in the past 10 years, our prices will need to go up. we will have to change the way we see our businesses and so will people...We will have to cut unneccessary wages and do more work ourselves...I personally think minimum wage is way off now...I really don''t know how anyone lives on it...

Brilliant Lori, and BTW, this does not, in most cases, include health coverage....which we still view as a luxury and not a right in this country. So if you get real sick, you just have to die. But at least we are keeping the upper class comfy.

All the best,
