go Mexico… $17.50/hour min wage!
“Accounting for official inflation, the latest minimum wage increase will bring the accumulated rise in salaries to 154% in eight years. Yet when the former leftist President Andrés Manuel López Obrador began this process, many opposition politicians, business leaders and economists warned that it would fuel inflation as well as risk higher unemployment.
Neither of these things have come to pass. Today, official unemployment in Mexico is 2.7%, close to its lowest level on record.”
