MessagePlease raise the minimum wage. $6.15 is still not a living wage, but it is a start.

MessageSimpley put,how can the poor get off welfare with out a chance of a fair wage. How can a youth save for school when minimum wage pays for only a car and the gas and insurance to operate said car.
Thank you ,Susan Bruno

MessageI wholeheartedly support this very minimum increase in the minimum wage for North Carolina. I actually feel slightly guilty supporting this proposal because it's so much less than is needed. If there was a concerted and feasible effort to increase the wage to $9/hr, I would rather support that. It's a win-win for NC businesses and for our least protected workers. Bottomline, this is an issue of justice.

MessageI support the one dollar more effort as a beginning point. I believe that the minimum wage should actually be a living wage that is tied to the inflation rate. People who work for a living should not have to suffer as a result. More money in workers' pockets equals more money being put back into the economy. Do the right thing, and do it now.

MessageI definately support raising minumum wage by $1! That would be one small step to alleviating poverty in our state. It would be nice if we could raise it to an actual living wage of at least $11/hour but I know that is not going to happen so in the meantime, I will support something I thing can happen now!

Messagei am in favor of the one dollar minimum wage increase. This is much overdue and the citizens of North carolina is deserving of this increase. Raising the minimum wage will also help other employees to get better pay raises from their employers. citizens in the state of north carolina should not have to suffer financially due to low better. Please bring these familes up to a higher standard of living.

MessageI would be in favor of an increase in the minimum wage by at least one dollar in my home state of North Carolina. I work in a school and see first hand the way families and children suffer due to the stress and dispair caused by situations where parents just plain can't make enough to get by even though they sometimes work 2 jobs.
