Bottom Line – Happy New Year. SF minimum wage heads to $10

Liberal San Francisco continues to amaze with its out of touch politics. A full time minimum wage worker now pockets over $20k per year. The unemployment rate for the city by the bay is 1/2 a percentage point above the national average. This also contributes to S.F. being one of the most expensive cities in the world to live. According to the U.S. Census the home ownership rate in San francisco is a low 59.1%; while most major cities across the U.S. boasted rates in the upper 60% to upper 70% range. MSNBC does it’s best to report the progressive point of view in this story, but at least they quote one business owner. You can imagine how they feel.

Remarkable as it may seem many businesses, small businesses, don’t have a website. For those of us who live online it seems beyond comprehension to think of operating even the smallest business without a website. And yet, it’s done all the time. This brief article speaks to both points of view- “NO” you don’t need a website for your business; and “YES” you most certainly do need a website. In case there is any doubt I fall firmly in the Yes category. Why? Because websites can be so easy and inexpensive these days to not have one gives a very negative reflection on your business. Read the article for more perspective.
