Pretty amazing when over 75 percent of the country only gets $7.25 an hour, so sometimes Liberals are good. [ link to www.masslive.com (secure)] The Massachusetts minimum wage will increase from $12 to $12.75 an hour on Jan. 1, a step toward raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2023.
The Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center estimates that 420,600 workers will get a raise under the new law, many of them working in food service and retail.
“We see folks that have not been included in our economy in ways we should all be are going to benefit from this,” said Marie-Frances Rivera, president of the Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center, a liberal-leaning think tank.Too bad they don't understand economics! All they are doing is pushing up the cost of living. Which means it changes nothing. Ever heard the term "pushing on a string"? This is just as effective. If they had any sense they would focus on restoring the VALUE of the currency. Nothing else will work!
