Journal Entry - follow-up on Minimum Wage effects.
Questions -
1. on what factors would you base the minimum wage?
2. Would it apply to all businesses or is there a minimum numbers of employees a company have to have?
3. Would it only apply to high volume sales types of jobs (fast food - because they have such a high volume of sales, the price increase effect is minimized because it's spread out over lots of little purchases)
4. What about the Calif Plan ($1 more each year over the next 5 years)
5. Min wage effects areas diff, how to handle that situation?
