We’ve talked about this.  Obama wants to kill jobs.  NH Democrats want to kill some jobs.  Make prices go up.  Reduce full-time opportunities.  Make it harder for new or unskilled people to find workEveryone knows what will happen, and still the Democrats persist.  They are willing to harm New Hampshire families to pad their social justice resume and for a bit of polite applause from their ruling class cohorts.

Democrat’s demand for a minimum wage hike–Jobs and prices hit hardest.  I can’t say it often enough.

A new study has found that 38 percent of employers will lay workers off if the minimum wage is increased as President Barack Obama has proposed.

Express Employment Professionals, the nation’s largest privately held staffing firm, surveyed 1,213 business owners and human resources professionals nationwide asking them if they would be impacted if the minimum wage was increased.

Roughly 54 percent of the study participants said they would reduce hiring and 65 percent said they would raise prices on their goods and services.
