Seth Harris: “Your absence from the Senate will be a great loss for America's working families and children.”

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.

Thank you for the opportunity to testify about the urgency of raising the Federal minimum wage.
