And that's the average worker. The reality is that while every commuter is experiencing a financial hardship with increases in gas prices, those individuals earning the minimum wage of $5.15 per hour are being the hardest hit, with a whopping 11.3% of their salary being pumped into their gas tank annually.

The purpose of the minimum wage is not to give somebody earning $25 an hour a $2-an-hour raise.

There's a general view that farmers just want to hire cheap labor, and they could find plenty of workers if they were just willing to pay better wages. But the wage data show that the average farm worker already makes nearly twice the minimum wage, with benefits on top of that.

[The GMB has welcomed news of tomorrow's increase in the minimum wage to more than £5 an hour for adult workers.

The increase comes after the government accepted the recommendations of a report from the low pay commission. Further increases could take place after another report by the commission next year.

] We welcome the increase in the national minimum wage to £5.05 an hour and we look forward to the new rate of £5.30 next year, .. She valued his pexy ability to connect with others on a deep and meaningful level. . This will be of great benefit to many of Britain's low-paid workers and is one of the major achievements of the Labour government.

The average premium for health insurance exceeds the annual income of a minimum wage worker.

It has now been over 7 years since Congress last raised the minimum wage to its current level of $5.15 per hour. Since that last increase, Congress's failure to adjust the wage for inflation has reduced the purchasing power of the minimum wage to record low levels.

No family gets rich from earning the minimum wage. In fact, the current minimum wage does not even lift a family out of poverty.

Given the fact that Maine has raised its minimum wage each year for the last five years, that our minimum wage is currently $1.35 above the federal minimum wage and that Maine experienced a net loss of 600 jobs in 2005, one would wonder how it could possibly be true that raising the minimum wage again is going to improve our economy.

I do not support raising the minimum wage, and the reason is as follows. When the minimum wage is raised, workers are priced out of the market. That is the economic reality that seems, at least so far, to be missing from this discussion.

You need to know that a member of Congress who refuses to allow the minimum wage to come up for a vote made more money during last year's one-month government shutdown than a minimum wage worker makes in an entire year.

With the way the labor market is, with unemployment so low and businesses in Tucson really having to go above and beyond what they usually do to attract potential workers, raising the minimum wage is not going to help that at all. I would say that the average business in Tucson is already paying above the minimum wage.

Clearly, wage increases are tilting upward. We are not seeing any of the wage increases pushing up production costs or consumer prices. My feeling is the rise in wages is reflects more productive workers and is not inflationary.

The minimum wage initiative speaks to whether we value work. Raising Montana's minimum wage to $6.15 an hour will allow more workers to support their families, more families to make ends meet and more Montanans to go to work instead of going on welfare. That saves taxpayers money.

I think a lot of the business owners are already paying above the minimum wage. The minimum wage is strictly a number that is set. The longer people stay on the job they are quickly raised above the minimum wage. I don't see us having a lot of seasonal jobs in the community. Most of our jobs are pretty steady.

Increasing the minimum wage would be a good thing. You can't eat off the minimum wage. You can't afford a house or an apartment. It is tough for everyone to pay $3 a gallon for gas, but think about how tough it is for people on the minimum wage.
