Maybe they're smarter than us. The much higher than average minimum wage in Oregon hurts the small business owners. Everyone complains because there are no jobs, but they don't stop to think that it can be directly related to the fact that employers can't pay anyone else. A company with 6 employees on the floor at a time could have another employee working if the minimum wage was even a dollar less.
