For starters, the entire concept of government dictating to employers what they can and can not pay their employees is absurd. It is little wonder that the unemployment rate is highest among those with the skills and/or experience that lend themselves to a 'minimum wage'. Raise it, and you reduce the number of those jobs that exist. Compensation should be something between a willing employer and willing employee, NOT the government. I like Raimondo on other issues, but tying this to inflation is a very bad idea as it absolves legislators of making the tough votes they were hired to make.
