This week, 21 states will raise their minimum wage to an average of $8 per hour. The federal hourly minimum wage is $7.25. What do you think of the increase? A. I think it is a great idea. Everyone should have a living wage. B. Increasing the minimum wage forces businesses to increase their prices. Higher minimum wages are not as beneficial as many people think. C. I’m glad the wage for millions is increasing, but the minimum wage for many states and the federal minimum are still too low. D. Increasing the minimum wage is an old idea that can’t help our modern economy. Instead, we should tackle crippling business regulations, which would lead to job growth.
