Congress: give America a raise. Increase minimum wage.

The annual income for a full-time employee working the entire year at the federal minimum wage is only $15,080 dollars. It's just not enough to live on.

The federal minimum wage would be $10.76 if it had kept up with inflation over the past 40 years. Hard-working Americans deserve more than poverty wages: Raise the minimum wage to at least $11.

Raising the minimum wage is the morally and economically right choice. 72% of Americans support raising the federal minimum wage. No family can survive on $7.25- The annual income for a full-time employee working the entire year at the federal minimum wage is only $15,080 dollars- poverty wages, while the rich get richer.
