Will the US business suffer from the increased labor costs?
Will Biden and the democrats keep their promise?
Stupid question:Will the American working class buy more Bitcoin,if they have bigger salaries?
Some economists say that the current federal minimum wage is way lower than the labor productivity,so increasing the minimum wage will lower the profits of the business,while boosting the consumption of the working class.

The federal minimum wage is poised to get its first update in more than a decade.
President-elect Joe Biden on Thursday said he will ask Congress to boost the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour from the current $7.25 per hour. The federal minimum wage has not been increased since 2009.
The call to raise the federal minimum wage is part of a larger $1.9 trillion coronavirus aid package called the American Rescue Plan aimed at helping boost the U.S. economy from the damage of the pandemic.
“There should be a national minimum wage of $15 an hour,” Biden said during a Thursday night speech. “Nobody working 40 hours a week should be living below the poverty line.”

We don't know and this one needed a deep study since it can possibly hurt the business profitability since not all of the company are capable to pay such huge amount to their employee's. Remember their are small businessman so before conducting a raise a proper assessment should be done since if that amount would be approved we can possibly some of the worker lose their jobs since for sure many companies will do a cost reduction and that will be the consequences of this actions.
