Minimum Wage

     I believe that there should be a federal minimum wage. If they were to have this minimum wage it should be raised to at least about $10 per hour. I we were to compare the minimum wage we have now to the minimum wage we had back in the 60's the purchasing power would be lower. The price of minimum wage has increased and so has the price of goods and services, but the goods and services prices have grown a lot more then the minimum wage, thus making the purchasing power lower. Minimum wage is good because there are some jobs that you could easily pay an employee $2 an hour, and not giving them the amount of money they need to survive. With federal minimum wage states would have to meet or be above it so working citizens can survive.
