    Exactly. The minimum wage may be higher, but businesses will make do with fewer employees to meet the additional costs. For example, many of the McDonald’s around here have put in the kiosks for ordering and paying with plastic so they don’t have to have as many people working the counter.

    Isn’t the general goal of having a business making it profitable?

    Yes it is business’ goal to be profitable. Unless you’re a regulated utility, then you don’t have to worry, just raise your rates.
    But its not government’s job to make them profitable either. It’s government’s jobto take care of the people it represents and that includes business owners and employees. By design you can’t serve just one master. So anything government does regarding wages or regulations orapprovals for projects, its going to affect somebody negatively.
