Too high. I'd make it $26/hour ties to the local cost of living, as the new Federal minimum wage.

"Can you explain how that would be economically sustainable for small businesses?" the moderator asked.

"I know what worker productivity means, and that means that you have to make sure that your employees are taken care of and have a living wage," Lee said at the debate.

Surely the people who make the decisions about the economy would at least have studied economics at some time in their life, right? Right...? :marseyaware:

Somehow I feel that AOC wouldn't be this stupid as to think this would even be a viable thing to sell yourself for an election, let alone enforce as an actual policy.

Implementing a national $26 minimum wage would immediately put most small businesses out of business. A lot of people who would hold min wage jobs would be left unemployed. And companies that could handle paying their employees more due to high customer demand (groceries, certain restaurants) would have to raise prices significantly.

The answer is for people to rise beyond minimum wage work suitable only for high schoolers.
