I live in Iowa(usa) and right now our min. wage is 5.25, next january their raising ours to 7.25! we're def. a ways away from you guys thats for sure.
I really think the mom and pop business will suffer probably the most. all the prices will rise the people who already make more than min wage wont really want to spend more money on items at the smaller stores because it's going to be more then what they normally pay...
i think it's just going to slowly spiral downward...
