First, an eco**mic snapshot from September of last year from CNS News:
From President Obama’s Saturday address, via the AP:
President Barack Obama says he’s hearing from business owners across the country who are voluntarily paying their workers more than the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour.
In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama says those actions show that change comes to Washington, **t from it.
Congressional Republicans are resisting Obama’s pleas to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour. Obama recorded the address in Washington before leaving Friday for a weekend in Florida.
