Business owners are warning they will need to start cutting costs, especially in terms of the number employees they can have and how much they will be paid.

“Businesses are already finding it tough and will continue to see a range of costs rise,” Australian Hotels Association WA CEO Bradley Woods told Gary Adshead on 6PR Mornings.
