> There’s an impulse among companies these days to differentiate themselves .... or most recently and most astonishingly, [by] raising your minimum salary to $70,000 per year. Really? Raising the minimum wage was about "differentiating" themselves, and not out of the realization that everyone needs a comfortable wage to live on? I'm sorry, but I can't take an analysis by such a person seriously. This attitude demonstrates a fundamental lack of understanding.
