clo, I know from personal experience what raising the minimum wage does. I was working for a department store that paid it's sales staff 3 percent of sales plus minimum wage. At that time they had the layaway option for customers. A couple of the sales people made more off of the 3 percent while on vacation than I made in wages. The minimum wage was raised from $1.15 to $1.25. The sales commission was ended and two employees lost their jobs. Does that sound like a winner to you?
