> The US minimum wage....
...is actually set for practical purposes by most individual states.
Here in Washington it is currently set to increase to $9.04/hr Jan 1.
Still not a living wage. The minimum wage is another form of corporate
welfare. Walmart was notoriously known for giving employees information
on how to collect food stamps. With GE touting bringing home the jobs
from overseas and paying employees $13/hr it's no wonder US can
complete with 3rd world countries. We are one.
