LA politicians want to mandate prosperity. The $30 minimum wage proves they can’t
Los Angeles politicians have approved a plan to raise the minimum wage for hotel and airport workers to $30 per hour, citing the economic activity generated by the 2028 Summer Olympics. This move has been met with criticism, as it is argued that the government cannot create wealth by passing laws, but rather by creating conditions that allow businesses to thrive. The increase in labor costs may lead to difficult decisions for business owners, such as raising prices, reducing staffing levels, or investing in automation.
