​"We need an economy that reflects the realities of 2026, not one stuck over a decade ago," said the newly sworn-in Rep. Analilia Mejía, who helped lead the campaign to raise wages in her home state of New Jersey.

      They’ll cut your hours, like they did in Covid, instead of paying you a living wage. Thus you’ll still be forced to work for multiple slavers.

        Who cares? If you have two twenty hour jobs at 25 an hour?

          All you said that you’re financially&economically illiterate. Try learning something for a change.

            Hey cool pop science graphics, truly the epitome of educational.

            Here is a paper from Berkley showing the effects of increased minimum wage did not impact employment, did not significantly or proportionally increase costs and absolutely did put workers in a better position.

            Elasticity was covered in my studies yes. Thanks for linking, if I ever forget the basics of economics I’ll be sure to check back.

                Another solid arugment. Amazing how well you manage to condescend and be wrong.

                  Nothing in your paper, and this last reply addresses the enforcement of employer reduction of hours. Employers reduced work hours during Covid, and still do today. They are not increasing wages.
