Brett Coburn, partner in the firm’s Labor & Employment Group, was quoted in a Retail Leader article titled “A Balancing Act,” which discussed pressures to increase the minimum wage, as well as the short- and long-term costs of offering low wages, reduced hours and fewer benefits.
"If the minimum wage goes up, the number of jobs is going to go down because there's not a lot of flexibility" in retail budgets, Coburn said.
