It’s not even just paying them $15. Employers have to pay taxes on top of that so in reality it costs an employer even more than the stated wage to have that employee on the payroll

Also - no-one working for a major corporation at minimum wage is working 40 hours a week.

Obamacare made sure they hired more part time workers to avoid paying for health insurance.

Part-time work honestly makes more sense for employers even without Obamacare- most office workers aren't needed for full-time work anyways.

Obamacare just sped things up.
