From President Obama raising minimum wage for federal contractors, to Seattle rolling out a $15/hour minimum wage, raising the minimum wage has been a hot topic nationwide. Locally, Gov. Quinn is recommending a $1.75/hour increase to Illinois minimum wage and Mayor Emanuel assembled a working group earlier this year to determine a higher Chicago minimum wage.

While nothing is set in stone, all signs point to a minimum wage increase beyond just keeping with inflation. We want to help prepare Edgewater businesses for coming changes.

Join us for a panel discussion about strategies to prepare your business for increased expenses.

Coffee and light refreshments will be served by Cookies and Carnitas.
