pretty much ignoring the fact WalMart started a trend when they pushed their wages up in 2015 to nine dollars a hour and have reached eleven or more depending where you are. This in turn led to Target trying to out do WalMart by going a bit higher each time.
The unwritten effect is that many smaller businesses who cannot handle the wage pressure were put into a bit of bind and some people employable at minimum wage won't make the cut at higher wages when people who would not have considered the job before enter the market.
* I only commented because people tend to herd mentality jump on anything negative about Walmart when in fact they do far better than much of the retail environment out there.
