Ryan Looks at the Effects of Raising the Minimum Wage on Businesses and Consumer Prices

In this podcast, Ryan explains how a minimum wage of $8.10 will effect a slower growth of CPI than a minimum wage of $10.00 because businesses don’t have to pass that extra cost on to their customers, and it allows businesses to use that money that would otherwise be paid to employees to expand their company and employ more people.
