“Unfortunately, the real minimum wage is always zero, regardless of the laws, and that is the wage that many workers receive in the wake of the creation or escalation of a government-mandated minimum wage, because they lose their jobs or fail to find jobs when they enter the labor force. Making it illegal to pay less than a given amount does not make a worker’s productivity worth that amount—and, if it is not, that worker is unlikely to be employed.” ― Thomas Sowell, Basic Economics: A Citizen's Guide to the Economy
The minimum wage in Seattle is $16 an hour. The city councils mandate of +$4 for hazard pay pushes it to $20/hr. These grocery stores operate on tight margins. These Communist are essentially mandating food deserts.
