Answer 2

Answer:

Companies would raise the prices of their products/services, change the hours of the workers, and be selective when picking employees so they would be the most productive candidates.

I believe that the minimum wage should be increased. Raising the minimum wage makes companies choose the most productive employees for their companies which would inevitably make the products and services higher quality for the customers. Additionally, the increase in wage would make the employees happier which would increase productivity and customer satisfaction even more. As for the entrepreneurs, the challenge of handling the change could be used as an opportunity that they could strategically take advantage of to improve their business.  

All in all, raising the minimum wage would allow businesses the opportunity they need to grow while allowing customers and employees to improve their lifestyle in one way or another
