The U.S minimum wage

A higher U.S minimum wage is giving a cushion to the economy. A study found that the bottom-rung pay will increase spending by 4.9 billion. A minimum wage increase will not just help the middle class people but, will increase the consumer spending. A July 2008 increase helped 1.3 million families and added 3.1 billion additional spending over the following year.
