Yet interestingly enough, according to the CCC, employers are now willingly paying higher wages to keep their employees above minimum wage, even though our economy hasn’t fully recovers yet and unemployment remains relatively high. Seeing as they clearly would have been able to do this even if the minimum wage had not been increased, is it not possible that there are some minimum wage employers who could have increased their employees’ wages before the increase but opted not to because they weren’t required to?
