A Boost for Families
Most minimum wage earners are not 16-year-old grocery clerks. A majority are women, single mothers, and minorities. An extra $2 an hour would buy these families:
- More than a year of groceries
- Over 9 months of rent
- A year and a half of heat and electricity
- Full tuition for a community college degree
