President Barack Obama Signed federal minimum wage For contract workers from $7.25 to $10.10 an hour,
In his State of the Union address, President Obama called on Congress to raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10 an hour & Today, President signed that Executive Order.
Obama In Said”Earlier today, I signed an Executive Order to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 for federal contract workers.
It’s the right thing to do. But what’s more, companies have found that when their employees earn more, they’re more motivated, they work harder, and they stick around longer. You should expect the same of your federal government.
The bottom line is this: We are a nation that believes in rewarding honest work with honest wages. And America deserves a raise.
If you agree, let me know you’re standing with me — and take a look at what else we’re going to do in 2014.The order I signed today will help folks across the country”
Obama Said” But it’s not enough.Right now, there’s a bill in Congress that would raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour for all Americans. It would lift wages for more than 28 million current workers, and would move millions of Americans out of poverty. That means businesses would have customers with more money to spend.
Raising the minimum wage would grow the economy for everyone”.
