HIGH COST OF WI WAGE INCREASE

HIGH COST OF WI WAGE INCREASE

A 15 dollar-an-hour minimum wage could cost Wisconsin 350-thousand jobs. 

The  Badger Institute has a new report that says raising the minimum wage could cost about a third of workers in the state their job.  The report says almost 40-percent of all workers make less than 15 dollars-an-hour, and many of those people would be the ones to go if wages spike.  The Badger Institute report looked at what happened in other states that raised the minimum wage, and worries that the same could happen in Wisconsin.
