Springfield, IL -(Effingham Radio)- “The statewide minimum wage increase is just another burden on small businesses struggling to rehire workers and cut this historic unemployment rate caused by the COVID-19 Recession,” said Illinois Chamber President and CEO Todd Maisch.
“Delaying the minimum wage increase is a reasonable and balanced approach to helping small businesses recover from the crisis, especially since the administration has discussed the possibility of returning to Stage 3 and re-shuttering thousands of businesses.This statewide wage increase in the face of unprecedented unemployment will ensure more businesses never reopen or rehire.”
