Minimum wage increases in 7 states, Ruth Mantell reports
unless housing costs are permitted to find their natural market floor - i.e. bankers have to agree to a 'hair cut'! (er, what planet are we living in again?) - workers will be severely hampered in their efforts to be flexible with regard to wages, because the wage is not viewed as an absolute number but rather as what it means in terms of quality of life for the worker/family - if, short of moving in with family, there is no way to do what one is trying to do, then many will reject labor altogether because it doesn't make life sense any more
