7.25 divided by 5.15 equals 1.40777. That's a 41% increase. Over 2 years. No fudging required.

There are 3.2 million full time minimum wage workers in the US. But there are approximately 20 million workers who would get a raise if the minimum wage went up, due to equitable wage indices used by unions and employers. Inflationary effects notwithstanding, projected job losses estimated by business groups exceed 10%.

Interesting... So, while the top 1% of the compassionate conservative population has enjoyed huge income increases in the last few years, all they and their legislative lackeys have to say to the folks on the bottom, in their most compassionate tone, would be "fuck'em if they can't take a joke." I wonder if this what the lefty judges on the USSC thought when they handed down their recent decision on the eminent domain case. This decision, after all, adversely affects the "folks on the bottom". So much for the compassionate left. :) Diz-
