Minimum wage

Ronald from Maxron Associates

The current minimum wage is $17.70 an hour set to go to $18.90 on April 1. I'm curious, what others think about that. Are you an employer or senior manager with hiring responsibility's. Will the increase make you change your hiring options. Will you down size, will you absorb the cost, will you restructure and shed staff. What are your thoughts.
