Katelynn Hudson started working at a fast-casual restaurant when she was 18 years old. It was her income as she tried to get herself through school, but minimum wage was not enough for her daily needs.“I was not able to afford food for myself," she says. "I could not pay my rent, I couldn’t pay bus fare. It was very difficult, and if I couldn’t provide for myself. I wouldn’t be able to provide for a family."Hudson now has a 2-and-a-half-year-old son, and she says she wouldn’t be able to support him if it wasn’t for a recent change in her pay. Illegal Pete’s in Denver, Colorado has raised its minimum wage from to within the past three and a half years, transforming that minimum wage into a living wage.“It covers lodging, food, paid time off, education, savings, basically the ability to pay one job and plan for the future,” Illegal Pete’s owner Pete Turner said.However, it doesn’t come without a cost. “The biggest challenge is an immediate hit to your expense line, to your payroll line,” Turner said.Turner says the last time he raised employee pay it cost him about million. However, he sees it as an investment. The idea is to create a productive work environment, where people are more committed to the customer and the company. Pete says he’s saving money by not having excessive employee turnover.“The rule of thumb for losing a front-line worker and then having to rehire and retrain is like ,500 to ,500 an employee,” he says.Growing in store count and store volume with workers who stay, Turner says his decision to raise minimum wage has been worth it so far. But he does admit it hasn’t been easy. And for some small business owners, the idea while appealing, seems unrealistic.“Everyone, I think, can agree that the minimum wage [needs] to be higher," says business owner Erika Righter. "However, in order for that to work, people need to then prioritize shopping locally."Righter is the founder of Hope Tank in Denver. Everything the store sells is connected to a local grassroots organization, giving Righter a lot of experience with small businesses.She says she would love to pay her workers more, but she thinks there’s a disconnect between the priorities of community and the way people spend their dollars.“I think you can’t shop Amazon all the time, and want the minimum wage raised,” she says.According to Righter, many local businesses pay their employees before themselves. She says there simply isn’t enough profit to pay them more, making an increase in minimum wage a bit of a concern.“As the owner, I struggle to stay above water financially myself,” Righter says.Robel Worku works for Colorado People’s Alliance, an organization that fights for justice in economic issues.“I think the argument is that if those costs go up, it’s harder to keep their doors open,” Worku said.Worku says COPA was recently able to help get a Colorado bill passed that gives authority to local governments to increase minimum wages.“The federal minimum wage has stayed stagnant at around .25 for the past 10 or so years, and even beyond that hasn’t raised much within the past few decades,” Worku said.Numbers from the U.S. Department of Labor show there was a steady increase in minimum wage from 2007 to 2009, raising it by a .40, but there hasn’t been a raise since. And before that, the last raise was 10 years prior in 1997. Worku says his organization believes everyone should be afforded the right to earn a livable wage, which is around per hour in Denver, Colorado. However, he understands that number changes from city to city, making it difficult to assess a specific amount for the federal minimum wage.“I don’t know if there’s like a gold-standard number in mind, but one of the reasons we’re excited about the local wage option legislation is that it allows local governments to make those decisions for themselves,” Worku said.So far, Worku says places that have raised minimum wage like Seattle and Chicago have seen an economic boost in the local economy. “So for instance, if you run a restaurant or a bar, you rely on folks having a disposable income to be able to come spend,” he explained. For Hudson, having a disposable income is a new comfort in her life. She says she’s very happy she can provide for her son and that money isn’t a giant cause of stress anymore.“This is the first time in my life I have seen stability, and that’s really amazing for me to think of,” Hudson said. 4457

It’s wedding season, and it typically comes with high costs. However, more couples are now opting for less traditional ceremonies. “A micro wedding is usually guest count I like to say anything below 60 people,” explains Iver Marjerson, founder of Colorado Micro Weddings.Unlike elopement, going micro still has some of the same traditional aspects.“I find them a photographer, find the flowers, the cake the bartender,” Marjerson says. “All of it I already vetted, talked to them and made sure they have packages for micro weddings, and I help you put all those pieces together. And once they have all those pieces, the couple usually takes it from there.”Those opting for the less stressful route are couples in their late twenties and thirties, looking to save big on their big day.“They are more budget minded, more experienced based, and want to save some money and maybe backpack in Asia for an extra week on their honeymoon,” Marjerson says. “And certainly more likely to break a tradition.”Micro weddings can cost as low as ,000. Marjerson says even with a group of 50 people, he can put together a wedding for ,000 to ,000. Compared to the cost of a traditional wedding, it can usually amount to savings of ,000.At the end of the day, as long as the couple is happy, that’s all that matters.“Of course, I love being at big weddings, but for certain kinds of people who are inclined to stress, micro weddings certainly have advantages,” Marjerson says. 1482

In a sign that veganism is making its way into the American mainstream, Disney announced Tuesday that plant-based food options will be added to every dining location in their US theme parks.More than 400 vegan dishes will be available at quick-service and table-service restaurants in Orlando, Florida's Walt Disney World in early October, followed by Anaheim, California's Disneyland in spring 2020.It's a major undertaking: There are more than 602 places to eat at The Walt Disney World in Orlando and Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, most of them uniquely themed to a theme park land or hotel.Soon each one will have a themed vegan option to match, such as the Star Wars-inspired "Tatooine Two Suns Hummus" in Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando, or "Le Fou Festin" at the Be Our Guest Restaurant at Disney's Magic Kingdom, also in Orlando.A new green leaf logoThe new additions extend beyond park walls: every dining location inside Disney's 36 Orlando and three Anaheim hotels will also get vegan options. They include "Carrot Gnocchi" at The Turf Club Bar and Grill at the Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa and "Cauliflower Tacos" at The Wave of American Flavors at Disney's Contemporary Resort.From the "Chili-Spiced Crispy Fried Tofu" at Animal Kingdom to "Eggless Florentine" on Main Street U.S.A., Disney is being careful to call the items "plant-based" and not "vegan." That's because the exact definition of what qualifies as vegan has long been a moving target.To help guests easily spot the plant-based plates, Disney is marking each menu item with a new green leaf logo.However, the company did say that all of the items "are made without animal meat, dairy, eggs or honey," meeting the broadest definition of vegan cuisine.There are few places less hospitable for vegans and vegetarians than theme parks, where the standard fare is burgers and dogs. They are among 1904
