You'd also have to factor in the potential loss of hours, not just the potential loss of jobs. Many of those jobs are non-exempts, and higher minimum wage may impact the overtime compensation more greatly than the regular wage. Many workers depend on the overtime compensation. Increasing the base rate 25% hits more subtantially on the time-and-half or double overtime rates. Organized labor is all for any regulations that will decrease competition and create what they think will require more bodies to fill the same number of hours of labor requirements.
