here is an interesting historical chart (for those who understand charts).

So the proposal is to more than double what is the current minimum wage of $7.25 (as shown).

The chart wouls loudly shout......REALLY!!

Also check out the timing of the last largest increases.....sometime in the last 7 years!!

Totally and completely out to lunch.

Fix the economy and create more jobs so people (who want to) can advance their skills and their incomes. The rest can stay behind at truly MINIMUM WAGES.......as chosen.
