The UK's introduction of a national minimum wage law has frankly had the inverse effects it intended. Employers did not hire as many employees, reduced their current employee's hours, increased prices of their goods, and have forced their current employees to be more productive. |
When food, housing, utilities, and fuel prices go up people don't need to be paid more? They just want to be paid more?
