Illinois Minimum Wage Hike Has Business Owners Concerned

The Belleville News Democrat reports:

Illinois will raise its minimum wage for the fourth time in as many years Tuesday with 25-cent rate increases scheduled for each of the next two years. By July 1, 2010, Illinois workers will be earning $8.25 an hour, which by then could become the highest minimum wage in the country.

A high cost place to do business.
