New York approves $9 minimum wage

Didn't claim one is caused by the other

Then why are you bringing up random, unrelated factoids

@DEAD7, I want to be sure that I am not misrepresenting you and building a strawman, so please just explain to me what you think the relationship is between minimum wage and cost of living

Obviously toprogressives




Also where I live the cities with the highest minimum wages have seen the cost of living swallow the wage. So the idea that simply raising the min as a fix is shaky to me...

Could just be Cali though. The living wage hasn’t improved shyt here. I’d prefer to let market forces solve the problem at this point.

I don’t believe there is one anymore.
State intervention has completely distorted it.

In my state(CA), counties are setting their own min wage. SF and LA both have min wages above the state min wage.

I thought you were leaving this site? What happened to that?
