Networking makes the world go round

On June 18, Bob Muzerall, Nadia Bracken and I will be leading a networking workshop at the annual DIA convention in Chicago.  While working on our presentation, I suggested to my employer that I contribute a blog to the company web page.  See the link below to read it:

Early Economic Results of $15 per hour wage

Now that we’ve seen the hourly wage increases in Seattle and San Diego, there are indications that it’s negatively affecting job growth in the restaurant sector.  From an article in Forbes:

in San Diego:

Rather than inch upward from $10 per hour to $10.25 per hour in January 2016, as the rest of the state was doing, San Diego jumped its minimum wage to $11.50 per hour. In the year and three months since then, the number of food service jobs in San Diego has dropped sharply, with perhaps as many as 4,000 jobs lost, or never created in the first place.
