"The issue of chronic low pay has been thrust into the spotlight over the last
year by Barack Obama, whose proposal for a hike in the federal hourly minimum
wage — from $7.25 to $10.10 — would mean a direct pay rise for more than 16
million workers, with another eight million indirectly benefiting. By any
standard that would represent a major increase, but it would still only restore
the federal minimum wage to just above the level it attained 45 years ago,
after adjusting for inflation."
