That's right. I don't want politics involved with it..."

Why is it that the city of Seattle has the highest minimum wage in the country, and yet only has a 4% unemployment rate? That all flies in the face of your argument! I'm thinking this is all a moot point anyway, because most outfits probably pay more than minimum wage.

Seattle just enacted their 15 dollar wage- we have no idea what the impact will be!

Ethan and Angela Stowell own 10 neighborhood restaurants in Seattle. They have decided not to move forward on two new restaurants because of uncertainty over the minimum wage.

As the Seattle City Council continues to debate a plan to phase in a $15 minimum wage, and as minimum wage advocates gather signatures to put an even stronger measure on the November ballot, businesses in the city are finding themselves in an uncomfortable position: in limbo.

Many businesses report putting off hiring, expansion or investment decisions until the outcome of the minimum wage debate is clear.

“People are just scared and they don’t know what’s going to happen,” said Angela Stowell, who co-owns 10 restaurants in the city. “They’re paralyzed by the uncertainty.”
