...Federal contractors represent only a fraction of the nation’s employees. Businesses that together received more than $446 billion in federal contracts employ some 2 million workers, only some of whom are paid the minimum wage. Still, an increase for that segment of the workforce could generate momentum toward a raise for all workers now paid the lowest amount allowable by law.
Hoosier's note: The US of A is going to raise the minimum wage. Singapore is going to raised (or has raised) the minimum wage.
The reason?
Well, it's because the Poor just can't have a decent standard of living if their wages continue to remain low.
And, they say that there is no inflation???
