Crain's Detroit Business reports...
Any stories against raising the minimum wage aren't being told by those whom will be impacted the most.
A possible increase in the minimum wage is of little concern to owners of small and midsize businesses in the state, according to an annual spring survey by Pittsburgh-based PNC Financial Services Group Inc.
Only 6 percent of respondents said an increase in the minimum wage would cause them to reduce their staffing. Sixty-nine percent said a hike would have no impact on them, while 21 percent said it would cause them to hold back on additional hiring.
Seventeen percent of the owners said they plan to hire workers over the next six months, compared to just 4 percent who said they were going to be hiring last fall and 13 percent who planned on hiring a year ago.
Only 4 percent said they expect to reduce their workforce, compared to 10 percent in the fall and 9 percent last spring.
