Min. wage adjusted for inflation would be $4.14/hr. Plus, statistics show that min. wage earners are not poor. If you think about it a low min. wage will actually help the poor in that most of the poor either don't work or make a low wage but still make over $9.50/hr. A low min. wage will allow businesses to pay those full time worker more, allow the jobless to get jobs, allow a fulltime worker to get a second part time job and keep cost of living down.

That is something liberals don't realize. If you raise the min. wage you hurt a lot of jobs that are for supplemental incomes. A min. wage job is not just an entry level job for a person with no experience but can be a part time job. Businesses are not going to pay part time employees that much since they are unreliable, or a high risk. I live in a place with a min. wage higher than the national rate and that is what businesses are advertising, jobs but no part time or night jobs, only full time

A vast majority of min. wage earners are not poor, 89% of them in fact. A high min. wage is hurting those that are poor from getting a second job since no company is going to pay a part time worker that much, or getting a job in general due to low skills.
