$15 min. wage would devastate non-profit services

Seattle’s $15 min. wage plan would devastate non-profit organizations and service to the poor. The Seattle Times,

“Unlike businesses, these nonprofits can’t boost prices to compensate for a wage boost. They’re at the mercy of government largesse. If it doesn’t come through, they’ll cut employee benefits or services to the poor, or both. The cost of a $15 wage for Seattle’s nonprofits is in the tens of millions, maybe even above $100 million. The cost for in-home caregivers alone is $26 million.”
