[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s 15 dollars because the median hourly wage in the US is around 19 bucks today. Half of all hourly workers make less than that. But 42% make less than 15. At least I think these facts are relevant. I’m sure someone somewhere has written at length about why 15 is about right.[/quote] So Romney and Cotton are coming out with legislation to increase the minimum. Wonder what number they’re looking at. They are coupling it with immigration reform—yay! Hopefully no big poison pills, but I’m not naive. It’s a start. We can all agree that wages need to be higher and exploiting illegal workers is bad.[/quote]
