Wage hike will work
http://www.pnj.com/story/opinion/contributors/2015/01/02/wage-hike-will-work/21207277/
The restaurateur in this viewpoint article in the PNJ pays his lowest-wage worker $10.10 per hour. He did not raise prices when he instituted this wage-change. He has restaurants in four states and is expanding. He provides reasons why paying his workers more than the Federal minimum wage has actually helped his bottom-line, and put him in position to expand his brand.
Disclaimer: I am not arguing for or against this; just providing a very interesting article written by an employer who favors raising the Federal minimum wage (so, do not shoot the messenger--please read the viewpoint before making any comments....).
