      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.

            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.

              You are the only person talking about this, you are having a different conversation unrelated to this post.

                Yeah. I am the only person that got laid off, and reduced hours for worldwide during and after covid.🙃 You got me there. Shame on me for wanting people to earn what they truly make.
