Min salary should be set by the market not the gov. When the cost of something is arbitrarily set high you will automatically get less of it. Translation just for you... More people unemployed collecting EBT cards.

"Salaries paid are part of the cost of doing business.....and if you want to stay in business you will pay the salaries that are required to get the people you need..." Since you seem to understand that, can you explain why Walmart and McDonalds have no problem getting the people they need?

Yes and some of the new stores that Walmart opens have dozens of applicants for each position, so they are obviously paying the amount required to get the people they need. That is part of the cost of doing business. What isn't is paying much more than that, the way some people want them to.
