People who get paid minimum wage are usually those who work at fast food restaurants, deliver newspapers or mop a store. The minimum wage is currently $7.25. President Barrack Obama wants to increase the minimum wage to $10.10. Obama said, "No one who works full time in America should have to live in poverty." Minors get paid minimum wage and have the highest unemployment rate.
Business owners were afraid that if they had to pay the minimum wage workers more that they would have to pay all of their workers more. If the minimum wage is $10.10 everyone else will have to be paid more and again it wont be fair. But at least everyone will have enough money to live. Business owners are afraid they wont be able to pay everyone if minimum wage is raised.
In conclusion the minimum wage should be raised to $10.10. Like Obama said no one should have to live in poverty. I hope that by 2015 Obama does higher the minimum wage. Minimum wage should be $10.10, period.
