OK what WalMart will do is lay folks off, then offer them a different position. They did that the last time they raised wages. Most of the "new positions" were the same as the old with a different title. Thing is most were fewer hours to the point that they were part time with no bennies.
OK lets say that minimum wage is 10% behind the cost of living. Wage is 7.50 and cost of living says it should be 15. So you raise minimum wage 100% to 15. Problem fixed right?
