Seth Harris: “I think the Paycheck Fairness Act would have to be included on that list because of the terrible wage gap.”

What Congress can do is to not just acknowledge that is true but to respond by ensuring that workers can transition into good-quality jobs as seamlessly and at low cost as possible to them.

Raising the minimum wage would be the first on my list.

If the biggest problem that workers have is that they will have too much money to spend, I think that is a problem that we can live with

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