Why do you want us to vote NO on minimum wage increase? Arkansas is one of the poorest states in the union[49th I think]. Don’t you want to get your people out of the poor house??
As a percentage of median income Arkansas has the sixth highest minimum wage compared to other states. This increase would place Arkansas first in the nation in minimum wage as a percentage of the median wage, a better measure in comparing state to state.
Studies show that if/when the minim wage is increased 1 in 3 low wage or minimum wage workers would lose their job. Jobs would be lost to automation or reduced hours. With increased labor costs employers will either have to cut employees hours or positions, and/or raise prices on consumers to make up the difference. It is a lose-lose for all involved.
