Whenever someone tells you an increase in the minimum wage doesn't cost jobs, just point to the nation's capital in 2016.
In the first six months of 2016, leading up to a $11.50 per hour minimum wage, Washington, D.C., lost 1,400 restaurant jobs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is a full 2.7 percent decline in food service jobs in two quarters, the largest such drop since the 2001 recession 15 years ago. In fact, this is the first time since 1991 that restaurants lost jobs in five of the first six months of a year. Even the 2008 recession pales in comparison to this loss of employment.
The new minimum wage took effect on July 1, a $1.00 increase from 2015. Further increases will continue in the future, as the minimum wage will be determined by the Consumer Price Index starting July 1, 2017. The $15 per hour minimum wage will be reached by 2020, according to a city council ordinance. That's more bad news for the restaurant service industry.

Remember Congress has been OUT OF TOWN for MOST of this year!

LEAST Productive year on record so far!

How can restaurants survive, when Congress is OUT OF TOWN?

Liberals always choose propaganda over facts!
