State Question 832 would mandate annual increases in Oklahoma’s minimum wage based on increases in the cost-of-living in the nation’s urban centers, as measured by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers.
That would effectively mandate rapid increases in wages far above market rates in Oklahoma, based on the cost-of-living in places like San Franscisco and New York City.
It’s worth asking who is bankrolling this insane idea—particularly after recent revelations.
