Los Angeles Lifts Its Minimum Wage to $15 Per Hour By 2020
    #21702730 - 05/20/15 03:23 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/20/us/los-angeles-expected-to-raise-minimum-wage-to-15-an-hour.html?_r=0

"The nation's second-largest city voted Tuesday to increase its minimum wage from $9 per hour to $15 an hour by 2020, in which is perhaps the most significant victory so far for labor groups and their allies who are engaged in a national push to raise the minimum wage... almost 50 percent of the city's workforce earns less than $15 an hour"

It will be interesting how this massive hike works out for everyone, time will tell.

Thus the needed increase.

What I despise about ineuality isn't the fact that the rich can accumulate gazillions of dollars. It's the fact that some people can't survive the cost of living.

The best thing to make LA more livable would be if people started moving out of LA.

Not bad. I had to work construction two or three years to make that much when I started working. I bet a dollar doesn't go far in a huge city.

omg here we go. i bet 80% of businesses will shut down and cheeseburgers will cost $20. And i'm going to rant about how I only make slightly more than that therefore other people should not be allowed a standard of living close to mine because they are stupid and im better than them. /s

glad we got that out of the way.

Profit margins might be squeezed but life will go on, so be it.

I don't understand where people get this idea from. Raising the minimum wage helps the economy not hurts it.

Yeah look at In-N-Out. They make far less than McDonald's, start their minimum employees out at $10.50 an hour, give managers 6-figure salaries, and their burgers have always stayed the same price at around $1.50 or $2. Far cheaper than McDonald's, which is a giant corporation.

It's really up to the business.
Here in Oregon the minimum wage goes up every year, but the wage you are working at above that does not.
