The current minimum wage is too low and has remained stagnant for over a decade.
In my state, the minimum wage is $7.25 an hour.
Low wages hurt our economy overall by decreasing consumer demand, increasing turnover rates for businesses, and forcing more Americans to slip into poverty.
We ask that you raise the minimum wage on a national level to stimulate the economy from the bottom up.
The more money in the hands of consumers means more consumer demand which means more jobs.
