It absolutely does need to be raised to about $11.25/hour for full-time workers. Contrary to what conservatives say, only 10% of minimum wage workers are teenagers. Those working more than 28 hours a week should be making $11.25/hour with annual increases to keep up with the cost of inflation. I can understand part-time workers and minors making $10.55/hour. Let's do this and cut the corporate tax from 39% to 34% and everyone wins. Worker productivity is up 20% from when minimum wage was at its highest in the early-mid 70's as well. This would be enough to put minimum wage over $18.00/hour.
I couldn't have said it better myself. Worker productivity is a big factor many people ignore.
You did say it yourself, Derek. Coming back as a different sock doesn't change who you really are.
