California is at $6.75 and our economy is just fine.

We in Cali can handle a $7.00 minimum wage.  Somewhere that doesn't have our cost of living, like Wisconsin, would have a lot of trouble, since wages and prices tend to be lower.  I like things as they are, where the Feds set a floor of $5.15, and the states add to that on a case by case basis.

NickG,

Raising the minimum wage doesn't ensure that someone who is more productive than 10 years ago and is paid $10 per hour gets their fair share of money.

Most of those productivity gains are not the result of workers, either.  Its automation, which is funded and driven by management.
