Yesterday, the Metro Chamber convened a forum with leading economists and business representatives to discuss potential impacts of a minimum wage increase for the City of Sacramento and the region The discussion, held before a broad cross-section of business owners, explored recent increases by several California cities and the unintended consequences suffered by specific industries, consumers, and those an increase is intended to assist.
The Metro Chamber favors policies that help provide economic opportunity for all in a manner that does not impede our region’s economic vitality. We will continue to engage policymakers and the business community at large on this issue.
