Toddsterpatriot, my casual observations throughout my lifetime have always been the extents of minimum wage rate’s effect upon jobs’ rates are proportional and inversely related to the differences between the minimum’s and the jobs’ rates; lower rates are more, and higher rates are lesser affected by the minimum rate.if the numbers of employees were graphed on the basis of annual wages or hourly wage rates for all of those cities and medium to large enterprises I’ve encountered, their “bell curves” would indicate numbers of employees “bunching up” on the lower levels of wages or wage rates.
Anything a little more solid than "bunching up"?
Any studies showing what happens to the "bottom 40%" in the years following a MW hike?
Also consider that within all large, and most if not all medium enterprises, you’ll find more employees within the lesser, rather than the greater wage rate brackets.
You’ll have to seek more authoritative studies and evidence if that’s not been your own experiences. I doubt if you’ll find anything to refute or provide any reason to doubt my observations of employers’ wage differential practices. Respectfully, Supposn
