$5.15 x 40 hours = $206 week who could live on $824 a month? Uhhh??? Teens working their first job and living with their parents??? How about a minimum wage that exempts people under 20 years old?
I could tolerate indexing the minimum wage to inflation. It has fallen behind a level that is damaging to the economy. Indexing it to inflation would take it off the table as a political issue and ensure that it always remains a non-issue economically.....
