For or against raising minimum wage

           I am for raising minimum wage to $9.00 I think that if you raise it anymore then $9.00 small jobs will be forced to have to cut their part time workers. Pew Research Center says that 71% of the people wanted to increase minimum wage.

          Says that many people rely on minimum wage for their living. If they had the chance to make more money every two weeks or once a month they wouldn't have to worry as much about having enough money to take care of their families and would have the moneu to start a small family.

        63 percent of minimum-wage workers are adults age 20 or over.
(Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics) everyone says that the only people working for minimum wage are teenagers which is a myth. Everyone who starts working usually starts out at minimus wage unless they start at a nursing job or a really high up job.
