Not many, young untrained entry level. porters who deliver customer cars or wash cars or clean facilities. The reference I was making, was to my experience with small privately owned quick lube shops. A 35 dollar quick lube has a component of filters oil and the big cost is labor. If they have a constant flow of customers 50 lubes a day it is profitable. But with a lull in demand for your service, unapplied time is a killer. There are thousands of small employers that really have a job more than they make money. As the cost of labor is artificially increased, it shutters these hard working,basically untrained people who work in a low margin and very competitive world. It is not the government job to dictate what the marketplace should determine. It is just a politician's ploy to be popular to a certain group of constituents - a sick ploy. IMO Bob
