Are you saying that business employ an excess of labor? I do not believe this is the case. I understand that higher costs hurt business -- but higher costs come in many forms. Increases in rent, in commodities. But only when the workers ask for more is it unsustainable. I simply reject the notion that businesses employ excess labor and we will see mass lay offs as a result of the min. wage increase. If this were the case, you could point to Seattle and demonstrate but I do not think you will be able to.
