Daily Kos: Labor secretary: Why can't McDonald's pay what In-N-Out does?:



 Labor Secretary Thomas Perez makes a basic, but still important, point about all the whining from low-wage employers: 

 "I find it a remarkable notion that McDonald's can't afford to pay an increase in the minimum wage but In-N-Out Burger can," said Perez, alluding to the West Coast burger chain known to pay above-average wages for the industry. "That doesn't make sense. They [In-N-Out Burger] do it for same reason -- it's about reducing attrition and having a more effective workforce."
