It absolutely applies both ways and I never implied it didn't. Many businesses don't have the cashflow to offer significant raises, it's not a matter of hating their employees. So they close altogether or operate at limited hours. For instance, most of the restaurants around me are not open near as much as they were in 2019 because they can't find the labor.
- supernovae 5y agoMy daughter makes 15 an hour rolling burritos. Why should restaurants that charge a lot more for meals pay their staff 2.19 an hour? My duaughter also gets tips split and its just icing on the cake vs something she has to bank. Meanwhile, at a lot of these restaurants that fail - the owners absolutely THRIVED while screwing over pay and once that scheme was busted, its not the employees fault for not wanting to be a part of it. This re-balance was long over due since the feds and states have not done much to keep up with livable wages themselves (at the pressue of businesses who said it would hurt them)
