Minimum wage

Mon, 07/22/2019 - 3:00pm

Dear Editor:

For over 80 years we have been increasing the federal minimum wage from 25 cents per hour in 1938 to $7.25 per hour today. It has never worked as expected.

So now there is an effort to raise it again this time to $15 per hour. What makes us think it will work this time?
