Restaurant Industry Official: ‘Not Every Job Is There to Sustain a Family of Four’

Commenting on the negative effects of raising the minimum wage through federal legislation, an official with the National Restaurant Association said that “not every job is there to sustain a family of four.”

At a Feb. 9 panel discussion on Capitol Hill sponsored by the free-market Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), National Restaurant Association Senior Vice President Alfonso Amador said, “There seems to be a perception that every job needs to be able to maintain a family of four. Not every job is there to sustain a family of four.”

CEI held the event to discuss “regulatory threats to flexible employment and worker freedom.” The National Restaurant Association is a trade association that advocates on behalf of the foodservice industry.
