The Seattle $15 minimum wage disaster should surprise no one with a basic understanding of economics. (The government can’t legislate prosperity)
Manage episode 181956604 series 102631
A new study from the University of Washington has shown that Seattle’s new $15 minimum wage is actually hurting those low skilled workers that it was intended to help! It’s amazing how people are still shocked by things like this but I guess maybe it shouldn’t be, since the average person out there is economically illiterate! Many of the so called “experts” out there are also economically illiterate! A minimum wage is pricing low skilled labor out of the market entirely! If you can’t gain job experience from getting a first job, how in the heck do you climb the ladder to obtain that more skilled second job? This is just one more lesson of the government destroying the lives of those it’s intended to help. It’s a sad story indeed.
