Todd - you're right on the money with this column. Not only would a minimum wage increase provide businesses with such tangibles as tax breaks and wage-and-hour relief, but there are less tangible outcomes that will be a boon to any size business:
Examples: 1. some miniumum wage workers will be better able to afford decent child care - better child care means a less distracted employee and fewer days out of the workplace (this translates into better customer service), 2. workers will have more income to both save (for a house, car, college education) and spend. In this tight labor market, we can't afford not to use every tool possible to attract and retain hourly employees! |
