If minimum wage were increased from $7.25 to $15, a great many people's lives would change for the better.
And a great many for the worse.

The $15 minimum wage is actually a zero maximum wage for many people. I can't wait until automation catches up with the change.
Trump has no shot in the NY general. No Republican does.

As was pointed out in the previous post (for about the 10th time), minimum wage has been shown to have no impact on employment because workers today are so underpaid.
At UC Berkeley, departments have all been told to reduce their budgets by 10 percent. THAT'S the reason for the job cuts. The $15 minimum wage doesn't take effect until 2022.
Another nice swing and miss though.

The fact that you have quoted the same debunked nonsense ten times does not make it any more accurate.

1) Q: Where can I find the current Berkeley minimum wage?
A: The current minimum wage is posted on the City of Berkeley website at www.cityofberkeley.info/MWO. You can also call 981-CITY/2489 or 3-1-1 from a landline in Berkeley) 2) Q: When does the new Berkeley minimum wage take effect?
A: Beginning October 1, 2014 the minimum wage in Berkeley will be $10.00 per hour; on October 1, 2015 the minimum wage will be $11.00 per hour; on October 1, 2016 the minimum wage in Berkeley will be $12.53 per hour. 3) Q: Does the Berkeley minimum wage apply to all employers that have employees who perform work in Berkeley?
A: Yes, all employers regardless of where they are located, must pay the Berkeley minimum wage to their employees who perform at least two hours of work in Berkeley.
Your article is from 2 years after they pumped up the minimum wage and 1 year after the second tier of increases. So, yeah, I do think that the wage increase causede a whole shit load of people to lose their jobs withmany many more to come. I can't wait to see the automated fry cook and burger flipper. Gonna be some super cool innovation there.

Empirical evidence was debunked? I can't wait for you to show us where someone debunked it. 
Apparently the empirical evidence that shows an increase in unemployment due to the minimum wage, which you cited, went over your head.Quote:

Minimum wage goes up. They lay people off. Seems pretty evidentiary to me. If you have to cut the budget you have two choices. Cut pay rate or cut number of employees. Because cutting the pay rate is not an option they have to cut employees.

if you don't get a raise every 6-12 months, ask for one, if you don't get a performance review. fill out your resume and look elsewhere. or do you secretly know you suck fucking dick and are worthless and need the government to whip your ass for you because of "rich people, the NRA, republicans, racism"
what a bunch of whiny wieners. I would rather make less than 15 than look like one of those idiots with their 15/hr signs.
Exactly right. If you are in the work force for more than 6 months and are still making minimum wage you are a fucking loser who doesn't deserve more.

Apparently, you think a 40% increase to the minimum wage which will help about 40% of the country isn't worth a temporary increase of 0.3 in unemployment.

Those aren't the only options by a long shot. You can raise taxes, you can raise tuition, you can cut salaries of people at the top...

40% of the country makes less than the real 1968 minimum wage, and I can assure you many of those people work their ass off.
Quote:
The minimum wage reached its (inflation-adjusted) historic high in 1968, when it was raised from $1.40 to $1.60 per hour. Adjusted for inflation using the BLS online inflation calculator that would come to $10.55 per hour in 2012 dollars.Jul 24, 2012
UC is already raising tuition http://news.berkeley.edu/2014/11/20/regents-approve-five-year-tuition-hike-plan-for-uc-students/
Raise taxes? Even more? California is losing business already because of their taxes.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/feb/17/editorial-businesses-flee-californias-high-taxes-a/
Helping 40% will hurt 100% in increased prices and another large cohort in total unemployment due to layoffs.

A few companies left California. So what? California is creating new jobs at a faster rate than Texas.

Keep talking about them layoffs. They ain't happening in states with higher minimum wages.
Yeah, they are. And then there is this.

Putrid hiring numbers. Could it be because of the minimum wage threat?
