An estimated 2 million Americans work on federal contracts, though the number of workers receiving the minimum wage would be a fraction of that.
A survey by the National Employment Law Project of contractors who manufacture military uniforms, provide food and janitorial services, and truck goods found that 75 percent of them earn less than $10 per hour. One in five was dependent on Medicaid for health care, and 14 percent used food stamps.
Thanks for the info- proving my point if Obama was serious about his income equality he would have raised the minimum to $15/hour.
