*Critics assert that the real effects of minimum-wage increases are negative: they hurt businesses, raise prices and ultimately are counterproductive for the working poor, as they can lead to unemployment.

*At the macro level, a substantial increase in the federal minimum wage is likely to have broad effects, with some studies predicting that it could “ripple” across the economy, boosting the wages of nearly 30% of the American workforce.

*Many conflicting ideas on overall minimum wage increase. Perhaps eliminating the tipped worker minimum of $2.13 would be beneficial to worker. Ultimately, raising or keeping minimum wage has trade-offs; there will always be with no clear winners and or losers.
