Tipped Minimum Wage: Whose Burden Is It?

Full-service restaurant jobs are declining in Boulder because restaurants are closing due to added workforce cost strains and many of those that survive are trimming waitstaff, amounting to a loss of nearly 100 jobs between 2024 and 2025. That’s what restaurant owners told us would happen with the recent increase in the minimum wage, particularly for tipped workers, and they have been true to their word.

What Happens When Every City Wants to Be Boulder?

As Boulder looks toward the next decade, our future will not be determined solely by the technologies we invent, the companies we attract or the research we conduct. The question facing Boulder is not whether we can compete. The question is whether we are willing to evolve as quickly as the world around us.
