All this talk makes it seem like when (D)'s pass the $15 minimum wage, employees will begin demanding it the next day and turning in their employers. That's far from true:



When does the $15 an hour take effect?



Here is what the Act would do: Raise the federal minimum wage to $9.50 this year and increase it in steps until it reaches $15 an hour in 2025. After 2025, adjust the minimum wage each year to keep pace with growth in the median wage, a measure of wages for typical workers.

But in average labor markets or the disaster Biden is creating as quickly as possible, these people are sidelined, and demographically, are inordinately minorities.

You do realize there are plenty of studies that show this is nonsense?

To name one.
