Seth Harris: “Raising the minimum wage would be the first on my list.”

They are not asking for a handout. They merely ask for an honest day's pay in return for an honest day's work.

If we are able to raise wages across the board, particularly for low-wage and middle-skill workers, we are simply going to have more people spending more money.

We need to skill workers up so that they can compete for those high-wage, high-skill jobs, but that is difficult for a lot of workers.
