NYC wants to mandate a minimum wage that is considerably higher than the federal minimum wage. The effect that this has is that businesses will hire fewer workers, let some workers go or they'll move out of state. A worker is worth a certain wage based upon his/her value to the company. Once that wage is exceeded, the company can no longer run profitably.
