Best recruiters for moving in-house?
I’ve had my eye on a “Delivery Transformation Change and Communications Consultant” position at Deloitte. Does anyone work here that could give some insight into this position/department or one like it? And is there anyone who has worked in marketing and shifted to communications/consulting…what are your thoughts on a career shift?

This is the impact of greedy executives, not a state trying to push livable wages.
Just google “fast food CEO salaries” - absolutely insane of anyone to believe it’s minimum wage increases that f* us over.
Companies raising prices to counteract the revenue loss from increased salaries is not an unintended consequence - it's just one of their responses to it in order to reduce profit loss. They can (and probably will) cut costs and automate labour as you say. Even when workers achieve some significant improvement in their salaries or conditions, capitalists will find a way to undermine or diminish it.
You're right, but I think my point was more that the offset for these higher costs is often immediately placed on the worker as a kind of punishment for their achievement if that makes sense.
How can stupid ideas gain such traction? We are an utterly dumbed down nation thanks to our overpriced propaganda camps masquerading as schools.

There was always pressure to automate labor intensive work.
The increase in prices is very marginal (6 cents extra for your Big Mac 😱) and I don't know where you're seeing workers are losing wages. It actually seems the exact opposite of your claims.

I don’t disagree with any of the comments above. But it is hard to define what is considered “livable” because even higher paid families are struggling in this economy. For those on the lower end, the federal wage should rise with CPI so that those working full time jobs at minimum wage aren’t losing purchasing power, and aren’t below or right at poverty levels - possibly with state adjustments to account for higher COL. We should’ve expanded the child tax credit to account for household size. We should reduce the “cliff” where someone who crosses an income threshold doesn’t automatically lose all their benefits which disincentivizes those from moving off their benefits into higher paying jobs. We should be encouraging those in fast food or other menial jobs to pursue education opportunities (at reasonable cost) to move up the ladder. None of these jobs were ever intended to be long term careers, and given the lack of specialized skill set which correlates with low pay, these types of jobs will always be targets for optimization and automation. We will never solve the overall problem if we don’t address why people are working these jobs in the first place, and why there’s either no incentive or ability to move out of these jobs.
