马萨诸塞州、佛蒙特州以及伊利诺伊州的州议员正在考虑相似的提高最低工资法案。

Meanwhile, it's also small businesses and minority-owned businesses that disproportionately suffer from minimum wage hikes.

同时，小型企业和少数民族拥有的企业在最低工资上涨中遭受的不成比例的损失也很大。

This isn't just theoretical; it's well-documented that the job losses from minimum wage hikes fall hardest on marginalized groups.

这不仅仅是理论上的问题；有充分的证据表明，最低工资的提高对边缘群体的就业损失影响最大。

The bill isn't expected to include a minimum wage hike to $15 an hour, after it was determined that this goes against Senate rules.

预计该法案不会包括将最低工资提高到每小时15美元，因为已经确定这违反了参议院的规定。

We also can't ignore that businesses often respond to minimum wage hikes in part by increasing prices and passing the costs on to consumers.

我们也不能忽视，企业往往会通过提高价格并将成本转嫁给消费者的方式来应对最低工资的提高。

And because low-income people spend a higher percentage of their money relative to rich people, the costs of minimum wage hikes inevitably get imposed on the very same working-class Americans these laws are supposed to be uplifting.

由于低收入人群相对于富人在消费上花费的比例更高，因此最低工资的提高成本必然会加诸于那些这些法律本应帮助的工薪阶层美国人身上。
