are before we go to break very quickly let's raise the minimum wage to talk
about the minimum wage a little people may not realize it but the minimum wage
now is lower than it was in nineteen sixty-eight a recent study from the
national employment law project pointed out
that the minimum wage today buys you about thirty percent less than it did in
nineteen sixty-eight what should it be today
to have capped at
forget about
actual increases just to keep up with inflation ok today the minimum wage
should be ten dollars and fifty five cents per our their no states of the
fifty states in this country
there are zero states were a minimum-wage worker can afford a two
bedroom apartment working forty hours per week there just isn't a single state
look for that possible
ten states
that annually increase their minimum wage to keep up with cost of living that
leaves forty which don't
and this disproportionately affect women
if you look at that
the chances that an adult minimum-wage worker is a woman
it is sixty four out of a hundred
if you look at the chances that they fortune five hundred c_e_o_ is a woman
only four out of one hundred this minimum wage
is inouye
part of the war on women and maybe it's part of the
not war but
kind of casual neglect uh... i think that's maybe of affair with said via
let's just get the minimum wage back to what it was forty forty four years ago
that's not a crazy
now but this is this is also going to be hard to do if you try and push this
uh...
across the board federally
