Minimum wage
Minimum wage is a hot topic in politics today. Many politicians are advocating a raise in the wage from $7.25 an hour, the current wage, to $15. They argue that $7.25 is not a high enough wage to support a family. Opponents believe raising the wage would have dire consequences on the labor markets and especially the teenage labor market.
