    You can't support yourself and better yourself with 40 hours a week at minimum wage. It takes an average of 92 hours at minimum wage to pay rent on the average apartment State wide.

    Georgia has a vast population of poor people; wealth is not distributed fairly. We need corporations to treat their employee's fair, "blue collar, white collar, on the job training, technical or college". Earnest work is labor in the workforce. Adults need fair wages to rear the families w/o seeking governmental assistance if at all possible. It is time for Georgia to raise the minimum wage.

    Our states' current minimum wage is $7.25. That's not enough for anyone to live on. We deserve an economy that works for everyone not just the wealthy and well=connected.

  • raise the minimum wage
    Too many people are being forced to live on and try to support families on a minimum wage that has been behind the annual inflation rate for too long. shame on all of us for letting this go on. You have the power to help change this: please sign this petition to let your lawmakers know that it's time for them to make a positive change for the people of this state. wouldn't you pay a few pennies more for a burger or fries to help make this happen? (the people who pay the minimum wages think you won't!) Most of these people have to apply for and receive gov. assistance just to help them and their children survive. let's do the right thing! show them that we respect each-other even if they don't.

  • Raise the minimum wage in California.
    As a psychologist, I see many people who have stories of them doing well and suddenly having to change jobs and take minimum wage jobs to cope. I see so many people struggling to make ends meet and this way, crime would be decreased and people would be glad to work certain jobs. They know their would be able to pay bills and take care of their family. A $26,000 paycheck as a minimum would greatly help the economy and all people children and parents concerned. Food and essentials like insurance and car payments would be easier to meet. Most miminum wage earners are white, parents and have college degrees. Lets educate ourselves and behave humanely. Americans and our future generations deserve this.

  • Give South Carolinians a LIVING WAGE!
    South Carolina, a "right to work" State, an oxymoronic phrase if there ever was one, when "right to work" means right to work for the least amount your Employer deigns to offer you. NO benefits, NO Vacation or Sick Time and NO advocacy if the Boss decides to Terminate you without cause. If anyone out there agrees with me, sign this Petition to call for our State Legislators to pass legislation to raise the minimum wage to $15.00 per hour! Why is it, State or Federal, they NEVER miss an opportunity to raise their OWN Wages and beneifts? If the minimim Wage had kept up with inflation, it would be over $20.00 per hour by now. The Economy would be BOOMING, and everyone would have a grin on his or her face. WHY don't they like smiling faces in this State anymore?
