You are paying a few more sense for your "Big Mac" so that #Labour can gain a significant #Wage increase.

It is that #simple

This work from Cato and Texas A&M estimates that Cali $20 fast food minimum wage increased restaurant prices in 4 Cali metro areas by 3.3-3.6%. Prior work from Reich and Sosinskiy estimated 2.1% with no change in employment while #Labour gained 10% #Wage increase #Econsky

“No hire, no fire” is a media-friendly simplification. It avoids deeper structural critique: 1) #wage stagnation, 2) inequality, 3) weak #bargaining power and 4) #demand deficiency.
The real issue is not whether people have #jobs, but whether those jobs provide adequate income and security.

Here we go again: The big business myth that minimum wage pay rises cause recessions In life it is nice to have things you can count on, and every time this year you can absolutely be guaranteed to hear business groups and their friendly economists screaming in fear that the ACTU and ...

lol well said Greg "every time this year you can be guaranteed to hear #business groups and their friendly #economists screaming in fear that the ACTU and Government’s recommendation for a minimum #wage increase will cause a #recession"

Interest rate rise in the balance - RÚV.is One economist believes the Central Bank may be forced to raise interest rates in order to ensure that wage agreements hold on 1 September.

The #inflation risk from rising #energy costs means that further cuts are now less likely. However, unless the underlying #wage dynamics change and risks of second order inflationary pressures increase, the bar for hikes remains very high.

#NYC leaders considering raising minimum #Wage to $30/hour by 2030, introduced by Councilmember Sandy Nurse. It could impact ~1M workers, while business groups warn it could force small businesses to cut jobs or close. Mayor Zoran #Mamdani supports the idea.

Two decades, two stories: shifting spatial patterns of wage growth in the Visegrád group countries - GeoJournal Investigating wage growth in spatial dimensions is motivated by the uneven distribution of wage increases across EU regions, which creates significant disparities in living standards and economic oppo...

#Wage growth in the Visegrád Four has become a "sticky" affair, with a region’s fortune tied to that of its neighbours. Boris Hošoff and Sergei Kharin show in GeoJournal that the winning hands are concentrated in #Poland while #Hungary faces a widening regional chill.

The data (import #deflation + weak export pricing) support:
#Germany is not constrained by excessive #wage inflation. They undermine the claim that #labour is “too expensive.”

According to Herr Starmer, you're an #extremist if you demand affordable #housing, a #wage that allows you to support your family, acceptable working conditions and worker #representation, support for #communities and an end to #Genocide. All the principles that #Labour used to stand for.

#ABORTION #WAGE - We Are Great Europe

There is no compelling #macro data demonstrating that #German labour is “too expensive” in aggregate.
What exists is: a demand shortfall and a global #trade slowdown.
In such an environment, #wage restraint risks weakening the very domestic #demand that could stabilise growth ....

Just saw an #Amazon ad congratulating themselves on their average #enslaved #wage of $23 an hour.

Wonder what percentage, across employees that is from #Bezo’s take ?

Exciting news! WAGE just announced $15.5M to boost the capacity of women’s organizations in Canada.👏
