Doctor Evil Reveals Small Business Owners' Mixed Feelings on Minimum Wage Increase!

Survey of Small Business Owners

As a cunning genius myself I have always been intrigued by the art of surveying and the recent CNBC|SurveyMonkey Small Business Survey did not disappoint. It revealed that while 61% of small business owners support raising the minimum wage half are concerned about the impact on their profitability. It's a real Dr. Evil vs. Mini Me situation here.

Generational Divide

Ah the millennials and Gen Z ers are at it again! Younger business owners are more likely to believe that a minimum wage increase will benefit their business while the older folks like Mr. Bigglesworth's age are less supportive. It's like a battle between the 'shagadelic' and the 'groovy'.

Widespread Worry

It seems the uncertainty is as high as my plans for world domination. Small business owners are split on whether a minimum wage hike will impact their ability to hire new employees. It's like they're unsure if they should press the 'laser' button or not.

Conflicting Feelings

The small business owners are like mini mes of themselves conflicted. While many support increasing the minimum wage they also worry about how it may affect their business. It's like having a mini me on each shoulder one whispering 'yes' and the other 'no'.

Impact on Main Street

The Fight for $15 movement continues to push for higher minimum wage laws causing local communities to grapple with high living costs. It's like watching a game of chess between Austin Powers and Dr. Evil each move is calculated and could change the game.
