Please take a minute or two to read the question below and the details behind it, then cast your vote and add your opinion. The results will be announced in Thursday's edition of the WBJ Daily Report. | | THIS WEEK'S QUESTION: | A report by the Worcester Regional Research Bureau found 31 percent of Worcester workers would receive a pay bump if the state's minimum wage were increased to $15 per hour. Another 9 percent would receive raises to preserve a pay hierarchy within their companies. How would a $15 minimum wage impact your company? Our profit margins are already razor thin and we would be forced to lay off employees.
The current $11 minimum wage isn’t enough to afford essential life needs and we support the raise.
All of our employees make more than $15 per hour so it doesn't impact us.
We support the increase but it would have to be implemented gradually.
