Yes! Weekly: "A rare managerial mandate: Raise wages"

In this (almost last) week's edition, Yes! Weekly's Jordan Green profiles Joel Landau, general manager of Deep Roots Market and at-large City Council member hopeful, in particular questioning him about how the minimum wage hike might impact his business. One highlight of the piece:

"I support a higher local minimum wage for Greensboro," [Landau] says. "I think it would improve overall quality of life. When you give lower-income people more money they spend it. They have necessities to buy.

"In studies that I've seen states that have minimum wages higher than the national average have shown less unemployment and better economies," he continues. "There's some question about which comes first. But there is that correlation."
