Modestly raising minimum wages causes under 2% job losses and 1–3% burger-price increases.
“The number of jobs lost a pass along inflation to consumers when they buy their hamburger. It winds up being you lose less than one or 2% of jobs, you lose less than 1 or 2% of jobs to automation and the price of a burger goes up 1, 2 or 3%.”

Higher low-end wages increase consumer spending and monetary velocity.
“They can buy another latte, they can join Amazon prime. They can get their own Netflix account and not be sharing a Netflix account. Instead of stealing stuff, you know, pirating stuff, whatever, they can go buy it themselves. It's good for capitalism. It's good for monetary velocity.”
