>> About 7 million workers will benefit from state minimum wage increases passed since the President’s initial call in 2013:

Typical Obama statistical nonsense.

Okay, a few million will gain anywhere from a few cents to, in rare cases, a dollar or two.

At the same time, 500,000 will go from being minimum wage employees to unemployed, and mostly permanently so. There is no equivalence.

It is far worse for the 500,000 than it is "good" for the 7 million. They get a little more money while 500,000 get a life in poverty. NOT THE SAME THINGS.

I noticed you and Obama didn't point that little item out.
