Letter "R" » Robert Pollin Quotes
«There's a simple reason why that's so. The cost increase for businesses to cover the living wage is generally a very small share of their overall operating budget - in the range of 1 to 2 percent. So those kind of costs can be passed through to consumers in the form of slightly higher prices or could be passed through in terms of slight reduction in profitability or improvements in productivity - so that the adjustments that businesses have to make in order to absorb the wage increase for their lowest-paid workers is not really that large.»

I've tried to estimate that - and it is true that you probably will have some upward price pressure, but I've estimated that as being pretty small.»
