But yes, most peoples wages should go up, as they have been stagnant across the board for almost 30 years, despite increases in workload, productivity, and profits. Well, except for a very small group of people.

I think indexing wages to inflation could be more appealing politically instead of fighting on $15 or whatever. It's a start.

If anyone's interested I can try to locate another study I read that compared the economic effects on a $9 minimum to a $10.10 minimum.

I think both need to be done honestly. Wages are simply too low now for many workers. Simply tying it to inflation will mean that they are perpetually struggling. Simply increasing it is a temporary fix until inflation wipes those gains out.

Increase it to an acceptable level, then tie it to inflation and be done with it.
