Now has the highest minimum wage in the USA at $15/hr

Man, I was making $7.50 for my first job after high school in fast food and the federal minimum wage at the time was $6.25

How's Sea-Tac doing with that wage increase

[abdiijohnson]

This will hurt small and medium sized businesses the most who make up the overwhelming majority of the local economy in regards to workforce and economic output

This won't go through

$6.25 in DC ? You gotta be kidding.
-
Seattle's cost of living will shoot up eventually, if it hasn't already, nonetheless this increase will most likely have some type of deficits else where.

Nah, in DC the minimum wage is $8 I think

I was talking about 2007 when the fed minimum wage was $6.25 but Maryland's was $7 at the time and I started at $7.50

There's Seatac initiative that would raise minimum wage for transportation and hospitality only to $15 but, it's not only for Seatac but the whole Seattle-Tacoma Area.

“We are a small business,” says Karnail Singh, the owner of the SeaTac Crest Motor Inn. “It’s only 46 rooms and we have less than 10 employees. We do know if it will affect us or not.”

It won’t. The ordinance only affects hotels in SeaTac that have 100 or more rooms, and 30 or more employees.

Transportation companies need to have 100 or more rental cars or parking spaces, and 25 or more employees.

So a lot of the businesses along International Boulevard in SeaTac are exempt.

Aw dont forget back then everything was cheap in early 1980s so $5 an hour is reasonable
