Raising the Minimum Wage in Burque

Let's make it happen!!! 

"...raising the minimum wage isn’t just about helping low wage workers.  It’s also about helping our struggling economy.  If workers don’t have money to spend, businesses suffer.  Some recent studies actually show that raising the minimum wage actually creates jobs! By boosting the pay of the low-wage jobs on which more families are relying than ever before, a stronger minimum wage will help restore the consumer spending that powers our economy and that local businesses need in order to grow. A robust minimum wage is a key building block of sustainable economic recovery."
