Swiss citizens will vote on a proposal to set the world’s highest minimum wage on Sunday.
If passed, employers would have to pay their workers almost $4,500 each month.
Supporters say it would create a decent life for all Swiss citizens.
But critics warn that a minimum wage increase will result in layoffs.
