because we care about our citizens and by god we can’t drive up labor costs or businesses will FLEE our state…

if the workers need more money let them get a 2nd job or put the kids to work and teach them the value of honest labor and hard work…

I wonder if the DOJ lawyers in those states will get overtime pay.

No, they won’t. Lawyers, doctors and other white collar, highly educated professionals are typically exempt from overtime.

Isn’t that partly what this is about adjusting those white collar professional exemptions? Of course most lawyers and doctors are probably making more than the new minimum for exemption, which I think is in the $47,000 range.

What, no more ā€œCongratulations, you’re a ā€˜supervisor’ and have to do more work. And here’s your pay cut.ā€?
