Every time this topic comes up people deny the price of goods goes up when minimum wages go up, or any wage goes up.  I'm always amazed that some believe that it doesn't happen.  It might not be as noticible with large companies but with mom and pops for instance, if they have to pay that teenager more money they WILL increase the price of their goods.  Probably not by a large amount, but it will increase.  For those who don't increase their prices, they will cut back on hours.  But somewhere, somehow, they will pass the cost of that wage increase on to the consumer When the county was forced to raise pay recently, they immediately began to cut programs, training, consolidated teams, and put a lid on hiring.  When jobs were vacated they weren't always filled again.  And that benefits potential workers in what way?
