Minimum Wages Goes Up Today

I am not for the increase either. If an employee is good then they will be paid accordingly. Best example, I have two employees, one works for minimum wage and the other I pay $8 per hour. The minimum wage employee sits around watching TV and works very slow while the other does not watch TV and works fast and does a much better job. Neither are well educated. I am not going to pay someone more than they are worth. When the pay goes over $6 per hour I will no longer employ the minimum wage employee, because I am not going to waste my money. Raising the mininum wage may put many people out of work. There are people who have no education, not very bright and efficient, but you hire them since you don't have to pay them much.
