As a small business owner, I know the problem that we face when it come to wages. The federal government has the minimum wages discussion on their top topic. The question is how much should they raise the minimum wages. The facts are if the federal government raises minimum wages up to $15 dollars, (which I don't think will happen,) will eliminate a lot of small business. We would not be able to pay the wages. The solution according to Paul Edwards is to raise minimum wage for employers-companies with over 50 employees. A small business would continue with the same wages or gradually raise the wages as they can to accommodate their employees, so they can continue to stay in business. This may be one solution, and hopefully we can come up with other solutions that can be passed around in hope that the federal government, and states will find a solution that is fair to all businesses.
Let me know what you think or if you have a solution that can be submitted to the state department email me at emurray310@gmail.com.
