Goes up to $8 a hour today and $8.25 an hour next July. iw as struck by this comment from the article:
Jason Bourque, who owns Common Grounds coffee shop in Carbondale, said the increase will be tough for small business.
Bourque said, while he understands the need for people to make a decent living wage in a full time job, those are not the employees who come to work for him.
"When you primarily employ part-time employees, it's not a means of their lifestyle, it's extra money, say for college students," he said, before noting that a means of delineating that difference in wages would be desirable.
Guess that explains the people in their 60s working part time at McDonalds.
