I have spoken to a lot employers. That is the evidence I have. It may be anecdotal, but I speak to them and they tell me exactly that. Once wages go beyond a certain level, they either do not employ or they go far higher and try to get a productivity agreement with their existing workforce to pay more. That is what they do.
