When people make more money, they spend more money- especially after a recession.
If you are working at a store, why would your boss lay you off if she is about to get a great many more customers? Millions of people with a raise will shop with many more dollars. Why would a business lay people off to get prepared for tons more customers?
The Republican talking points make no sense. Bosses who have to lay off when the economy grows
a bit more don't want to work themselves; either that or they themselves want to find a higher paying jobs.
Employers can no longer tell college grads "I'm paying $2 an hour over minimum wage!" if the pay
in question is $9.35 when federal minimum wage is $10.10.
A rising tide lifts all boats.
