Could a $10 minimum wage actually happen?
For several years America has had a struggling economy and a lot of people have struggled in life. The economy is raising and if incomes raise the US could start doing well.
President Obama proposed raising minimum wage to $9 per hour. However, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi urged her colleagues to raise it even higher, to $10. In a artible I read on yahoo it said, "This week, we saw something quite remarkable, the stock market soaring to record heights. At the same time, we see productivity keeping pace. But we don't see income for America's middle class rising." America has struggled for the past years and income has been a major problem. If we raise income the middle class could do well as the economy is starting too. Perosnally it will be great for me if the mimimum wages raise because since i'm a teenager the jobs I can get is jobs that pay minimum wage, so that'll be more money for me. It'll also help struggling families that cant get a job even when they have a education. It also says, "71 percent of adults would support Obama's proposed hike to $9." So more than half of the adults in America would love for the raise.


I think this is really good for people with a college education that cannot get a job because of the economy. I hope this gos through and makes it easier on families.
