The other day I was reading an article about raising the minimum wage. The owner of a restaurant was complaining that he has a hard time getting any one to apply for his jobs because the minimum wage in his state is too low. He cited that a friend of his owns a restaurant in a state with a high minimum wage and doesn’t have any problems finding help. He concluded that if minimum wage were higher in his state, he would not have any problems finding help. I wonder if he has ever though about paying a wage that is higher than the minimum wage?  Go figure.
