Indirectly affected workers—those earning close to, but still above, the proposed new minimum wage—would likely receive a boost in earnings due to the “spillover” effect (Shierholz 2009), giving them more to spend on necessities..

Oh let's not forget Shaniqua Davis & Co., her taxi rides, cable, and government paid rent for her 20-year-old azz AND the unemployed boyfriend. But the PC world doesn't really jive with the real world anyway. Had Shaniqua Davis not had the baby she wouldn't have taxpayer expensed rent so I must question why Shaniqua Davis had a baby? Surely we as in taxpayers aren't the problem? Or are we giving free rent away? Where's she going to spend the extra cash?
BTW I didn't bring Shaniqua Davis up the paper did.
Sure she's not the typical college educated lads and lasses you speak of.
Hope many were denied fast food today by the nationwide walkout. At least by those employees that were able to walk out ie the door doesn't have a picture on it like a hamburger on the cash register.
