Let's just say that I wasn't surprised when our legislators decided to leave the minimum wage where it has been, but to give themselves a raise. Honestly, have you tried to live on $5.15 an hour? (I know our legislators haven't.) Even working 40 hours per week at $5.15 AND social service supports, that is not enough to live on, especially if you have a family to support.
I stumbled upon a site from the
US Department of Labor. It has interesting information about
minimum wage laws in the United States. I didn't realize how different the states are on this issue.
