Businesses Raising Their Minimum Wages

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/26/business/ikea-plans-to-increase-minimum-hourly-pay.html

Ikea said that its new average minimum wage, $10.76 an hour, was $3.51 above the current federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour.
. . .
Gap Inc. informed its employees in February that it would set $9 as the minimum hourly rate for its United States work force this year and then establish a minimum of $10 next year.


How will they keep the prices on Ektorps and meatballs down . . . umm, hopefully equines are not involved in the manufacture of either.
