On the recordMay 22, 1996
It was the team's loss, I am sure. But I know in your situation if you had made pro football, you would have made $200,000 or $300,000 a year. That was a great salary, but you did not get the job. It is just like these students, the $5.15 an hour is great, but if the job does not exist anymore, it does not matter. Here are some statistics that have been put out by the Employment Policies Institute, which is a nonpartisan institute. In your home State of Arizona, increasing the minimum wage is estimated to cost 8,900 jobs that will be gone. In my State of Georgia, 18,000 jobs are at risk; Kentucky, 12,000; California, 63,000; Montana, 2,800; Ohio, 28,000; Texas, 60,000. This is economic data. This says these are the numbers of jobs that will be lost.
