With a signature on Thursday, Republican Governor Charlie Baker signed the bill that will set the minimum wage at $15 in Massachusetts’s in 2023. Like the frog slowly boiled in the pot of water, Massachusetts politicians are hoping business don’t notice the incremental increase in wages from $11 now to $15 in five years.
The bill also gives workers 3 months of paid family leave and 5 months leave for personal health issues.

The real minimum wage is $0, and always will be.
All business schools teach how to construct useful ways of measuring employee contribution to company revenues. There are some non-intuitive aspects to it, but once they’ve been properly explained, with examples, it’s not rocket science to accurately compute what an employee is worth to the company.
