#1 And I thought that the Congress were the only ones who could vote themselves a raise.

#2 Watch unemployment rise in Florida. Of course, "capitalism" will be blamed.

#4 Compulsory unemployment for those who have low productivity.

At least it will lessen demand for migrants.

#5 /\ Possibly the opposite will happen as cheaper ("black"/"under-the-table") labor is sought.

#6 Yes it is a boon for any illegal migrant employer who can pay off the government to look the other way.

#7 this, first step increase is to $10/hr by 1 Oct 2021, is coming at a point in time when the hospitality sector and the brick and mortar retail sector, both of which provide a disproportionate high level of entry jobs, are suffering

outdoor maintenance and Long Term Care sectors are doing OK now and will probably be able to absorb, at the first year of increase.

Final increase to $15 isn't until 1 Oct 2026.

#8 @ #6 - Much like the banking industry does with the SEC, etc. (Goldman Sachs, Wachovia (Wells Fargo)) and probably how Boeing got their way with the FAA and the 737Max debacle. Surely countless examples.

#10 Yeah Florida, great idea. If the China cough didn't cancel the family trip to the mouse trap, the cost will!

Lake Texoma, here I come!

#12 Funny, FLA voted for Trump but also voted in this socialist first step.

Meanwhile CA voted for Biden but shot down rent control.
