Raising the Minimum Wage: CBO Weighs in
No proposal to raise the minimum wage can be evaluated without asking "how fast and by how much?" The Congressional Budget Office offers an evaluation of three alternatives in "The Effects on Employment and Family Income of Increasing the Federal Minimum Wage" (July 2019). CBO considers three proposals: "The options would raise the minimum wage to $15, $12, and $10, respectively, in six steps between January 1, 2020, and January 1, 2025. Under the $15 option, the minimum wage would then be indexed to median hourly wages; under the $12 and $10 options, it would not." (There are some other complexities involving possible subminimum wages for teenage workers, tipped worker, and disables workers, which I won't discuss here.)

You need to think deeper and work around all the aspects like text, videos, images, etc. which impact the user experience. Hence, mobile-friendly content will be truly appealing to mobile readers.

Why are Companies Setting Up Innovation Units?
Nine out of ten companies believe that they are too slow to market with new products. In the consumer goods category around 80% of new products fail. Since 2000, 52% of the Fortune 500 have merged, been acquired or gone bankrupt. These are some of the reasons why senior corporate executives are increasingly turning to separate innovation labs to spearhead their new product development. Innovation has never been more important nor so difficult.
