Business claim layoffs likely if minimum wage is raised

Businesses executives have warned unemployment could rise if they're forced to increase wages as the Australian Council of Trade Unions pushes for an increase to the minimum wage. The ACTU called for a $30 per week increase to the minimum wage insisting it would boost spending across the economy. The minimum wage is currently just under $20 an hour. Image: News Corp Australia
