With the gradual increases in the wage I guess there won't be a mass exodus of small business from Seattle to avoid paying higher wages.
Nothing to do with the wage increase; but to me Seattle is like alien territory compared to the west side of Puget Sound. I only go there now to beg politicians to take action on a bill. :)

Seattle's city council on Monday unanimously approved an increase in the city's minimum wage to $15 an hour, making it the nation's highest by far. Washington already has the nation's highest state-level minimum wage, at $9.32. That rate also applies to the city. The increase to $15 in Seattle will take place over several years based on a scale that considers the size of and benefits offered by an employer. It will apply first to many large businesses in 2017 and then to all businesses by 2021. The first increase, on April 1, 2015, brings the minimum wage to $10 for some businesses and $11 for others. Some think the law does not go far enough. Those critics say the plan takes too long to phase in and object to an amendment that would let businesses pay teenagers a "subminimum training wage" for their first 90 days on the job. |
