Are you really all that shocked that Keynes Marxist policy failures are at the root of the problem? Me either....

But in pushing the legislation Democrats didn't bother waiting for state economists to weigh in and give them a better idea of how the bill would affect the state.

Last week, state analysts concluded in a prepared forecast the high wage will "result in approximately 40,000 fewer jobs in 2025 than would have been the case absent the legislation."
Orchard owner John Zielinski said his family business will? take a big hit.
"When those pears and apples are sold on the market, they're not going to give us any more money because we're from Oregon and have a higher pay rate," said Zielinski of E.Z. Orchards.
Rural counties threatened to file a lawsuit against the state, calling the minimum wage a maximum mess and an unfunded mandate. Oregon's constitution allows local governments to opt out of state programs that raise costs significantly and are not funded by the legislature.
Hearing the outcry, Democratic leaders quickly admitted they may have messed up. They promised a fix-it bill next year allowing for a lower training wages for young workers and some new hires.
Of course, not all Democratic lawmakers and activists are on board with the proposed changes.

"I think having a sub-minimum wage, while it might sound good, could end up hurting the very people we're trying to help," said Democratic state Senator Diane Rosenbaum, reports FoxNews.com.

Quote"result in approximately 40,000 fewer jobs in 2025"

Only 40,000 fewer jobs by 2025.  I think that's just a drop in the bucket.  I see that alone just in Portland over the next 9 to 10 years.  Plus that will effect other states that will not buy or sell to them.

Libs are not very bright are they.

You had to ask that question.

Not a question, it's a statement.

Yeah, I honestly assumed that to be a typo, more like 400,000 by 2020.

This law made liberals feel better. That is all that matters in lib land. "Unintended consequences" is not n the liberal dictionary.

I've noticed just how quickly the Dims ran away from the pervert bathroom idea. But that's par for the course for libs, they push a crazy agenda then wonder why people hate their lying guts.
